Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Herb Quinoa
Pan-seared wild salmon served over fluffy herb-flecked quinoa and tender asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1.5 cups Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact; sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon sears, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
In a small bowl, fluff the warm cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and half of the lemon juice.
Plate the herb quinoa and steamed asparagus, top with the seared salmon, and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the fish before serving.
