Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant and satisfying meal featuring succulent pan-seared salmon with a fresh herb and whole-wheat breadcrumb crust, served alongside a fluffy bed of quinoa. This dish strikes the perfect balance between rich, fatty flavors and the light, nutty taste of quinoa, accented by a hint of lemon for a refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 tablespoons Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill, Thyme)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the whole-wheat breadcrumbs with the chopped fresh herbs.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil, then press the herb and breadcrumb mixture onto the top side of the salmon to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon crust-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, reheat or prepare the cooked quinoa according to package instructions.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa, drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon, and serve immediately.
