Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Quinoa
Pan-seared salmon served over fluffy quinoa and tender-crisp steamed asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of lemon and fresh cilantro.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any natural bitterness.
Combine quinoa with water in a small pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes until fluffy.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and steam over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the center is just opaque.
Arrange the quinoa and asparagus on a plate, top with the salmon, and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
