Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Crispy pan-seared salmon fillets served over fluffy quinoa with tender roasted asparagus, finished with a bright and zesty lemon-garlic drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
10 oz salmon fillet
2 cups asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet, tossing with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, season the salmon fillets evenly with garlic powder, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes perfectly crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Arrange the warm quinoa on a plate, top with the roasted asparagus and salmon, and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the entire dish before serving.
