Seared Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and tender asparagus, finished with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.25 cups cooked Quinoa
150 grams Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
10 grams Sliced Almonds
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water and cook according to package instructions until fluffy.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side up and sear for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through to your preference.
Toss the cooked quinoa with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice.
Plate the quinoa and top with the salmon fillet and steamed asparagus.
Garnish with sliced almonds for a satisfying crunch.
