Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Quinoa
Pan-seared wild salmon served over zesty lemon-infused quinoa with tender steamed asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of citrus.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
150g fresh Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced and zested)
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and steam them for 4-6 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice into a small bowl, then fold the zest and half the juice into the warm quinoa.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Plate the lemon quinoa, top with the seared salmon, and serve alongside the steamed asparagus with the remaining lemon juice drizzled over the top.
