Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet encrusted with fresh herbs paired with a light serving of fluffy quinoa. This dish brings a harmonious balance of protein and whole grains, accented by a burst of lemon and garlic, delivering both satisfying flavor and clean nutrients.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a shallow dish, combine chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Lightly press this herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, herb crust side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a nice crust has formed.
Carefully flip the salmon and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if needed and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon over a bed of quinoa and drizzle any pan juices over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
