INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup dry Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once done.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillet on the tray and pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Brush the herb mixture evenly over the salmon to create a crisp crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
Plate the baked salmon alongside the cooked quinoa and garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh herbs if desired.
