Seared Salmon Fillet with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Herb Quinoa
Pan-seared sockeye salmon paired with lemon-zested quinoa and oven-roasted asparagus, finished with a burst of fresh parsley and a bright, citrusy zing.
INGREDIENTS
8.5 oz Sockeye Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
150g Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily.
In a small bowl, toss the warm cooked quinoa with lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
Plate the lemon-herb quinoa alongside the roasted asparagus and top with the seared salmon fillet.
