Seared Salmon Fillet with Herbed Quinoa and Lemon-Garlic Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served with fluffy herbed quinoa and tender-crisp asparagus, finished with a bright and zesty lemon-garlic drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1.5 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions using water or low-sodium vegetable broth until fluffy.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until desired doneness.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and add the asparagus and minced garlic.
Sauté the asparagus for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Toss the cooked quinoa with fresh chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice.
Plate the salmon over the herbed quinoa, serve the asparagus on the side, and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the fish.
