Tips & Notes
- Cooking the salmon: For crispier skin, press the fillet gently with a spatula for the first 30 seconds of searing. This helps the skin make full contact with the pan.
- Quinoa options: Feel free to use tri-color or red quinoa for added texture and color variation.
- Butter boost: For extra richness, finish the salmon with a small pat of butter in the final minute of cooking and spoon the melted butter over the fillet.
- Scaling up: This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for meal prep or family servings. Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Garnish ideas: Add toasted sesame seeds, a few chili flakes, or a drizzle of tahini or lemon vinaigrette for extra dimension.
