Skillet Seared Salmon and Quinoa with Radish Salad
Quick to make and delicious to eat, this dinner is sure to be a favorite any night of the week.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat a large iron skillet over high heat. Turn down to medium when hot. Add the olive oil. Toast the quinoa then move it to the side.
- Add the salmon skin-side down. Sear briefly, then add the lemon halves before moving the skillet to a 350-degree oven.
- Bake the fish and quinoa until the fish is done, about 20-25 minutes. The fish is done when it is no longer translucent in the center and it flakes with a fork.
- Meanwhile, toss the kale and radishes with the vinaigrette dressing. Place the kale salad with radishes on one half of a large bowl or plate.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Place the quinoa in the other half of the large bowl or plate next to the kale and radish salad. Top the quinoa with the salmon and garnish with sliced roasted lemons.
