Golden Pan-Seared Salmon Quinoa Salad
Pan-seared salmon seasoned with turmeric for a vibrant golden crust, served over a crisp quinoa and spinach salad tossed in a zesty lemon-Dijon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz salmon fillet
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 cup cucumber
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dijon mustard
0.25 tsp ground turmeric
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with ground turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through and golden.
While the salmon cooks, whisk together the lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
Place the warm golden salmon fillet on top of the salad and serve immediately.
