Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them on the baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until the edges are slightly charred.
While the broccoli roasts, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat with the minced garlic and a splash of water, stirring until fragrant.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season the skin side with a pinch of sea salt.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is crispy and golden.
Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
Plate the garlic quinoa and roasted broccoli, top with the seared salmon, and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
