Ingredients
Salmon
Ancient Grains
Lemon Herb Sauce
Fresh Seasonal Vegetables
Prepare Ancient Grains
1. Cook Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook Salmon
2. Pan-Seer Salmon
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped basil before removing from heat.
Prepare Lemon Herb Sauce
3. Mix Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended and set aside.
