Seared Salmon with Herb-Quinoa Pilaf and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over a fluffy quinoa pilaf with fresh herbs and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends and steaming over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat half of 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 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
In a separate small pan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked quinoa and chopped parsley to the garlic oil, tossing until warmed through and well-combined.
Plate the herb-quinoa pilaf alongside the steamed asparagus and seared salmon.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice before serving.
