Seared Salmon Fillet with Garlic Green Beans and Quinoa
Pan-seared sockeye salmon paired with fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender green beans sautéed with aromatic garlic and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Sockeye Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Fresh Green Beans
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked, and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness, then remove from the pan.
In the same skillet or a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans and a tablespoon of water to the pan, then cover with a lid to steam for 3 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to sauté the green beans for another 2 minutes until they are crisp-tender and lightly browned.
Plate the salmon over the fluffy quinoa with the garlic green beans on the side, finishing the entire dish with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
