Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over a bed of zesty lemon-herb quinoa alongside tender roasted asparagus for a bright summer meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz salmon fillet
3 tbsp quinoa
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and simmer in six tablespoons of water until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are fluffy.
Season the salmon fillet evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until the skin is golden and crisp.
Steam the asparagus spears until they are bright green and tender-crisp, then toss them with the minced garlic.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, then fold them into the cooked quinoa along with the lemon juice.
Plate the pan-seared salmon atop the herb-infused quinoa and serve with the garlic asparagus on the side.
