Pan-Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon served over zesty lemon quinoa with a side of tender steamed asparagus, finished with a bright and citrusy lemon-garlic drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
1 clove Minced Garlic
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and cook according to package instructions, fluffing with a fork and stirring in the lemon zest once finished.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side up and sear for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and minced garlic.
Plate the lemon quinoa, top with the pan-seared salmon, and arrange the asparagus on the side.
Drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over the salmon and vegetables before serving.
