INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz Salmon Fillet

1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa

1.5 cups Fresh Green Beans

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 cloves Garlic, minced

PREPARATION

• 1

  Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked, and set aside.

• 2

  Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 4

  Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.

• 5

  Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is reached.

• 6

  Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest while you prepare the vegetables.

• 7

  In the same pan or a separate skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 8

  Add the green beans to the pan with a splash of water, cover, and steam-sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 9

  Plate the salmon alongside the fluffy quinoa and garlic green beans, finishing with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
