Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Dill Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon fillets served over a bed of zesty lemon-dill quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus for a bright and refreshing meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon fillet
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh dill
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 3-4 minutes until they reach a vibrant green, crisp-tender texture.
In a small bowl, fluff the warm cooked quinoa and stir in the minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Plate the lemon-dill quinoa, top with the pan-seared salmon, and serve with the steamed asparagus on the side.
