Seared Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over fluffy quinoa and tender asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
INGREDIENTS
5.4 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus, trimmed
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions until light and fluffy.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and steam them for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side up and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to create a golden crust.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and plate it alongside the steamed asparagus.
Top the quinoa with the seared salmon fillet, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
