Enjoy a beautifully balanced dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a fragrant herb crust, served alongside fluffy quinoa tossed with a hint of lemon. This meal brings together the richness of the salmon and the light, nutty flavor of quinoa for a satisfying, nutrient-dense dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Fresh Thyme (chopped)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil on both sides. Press the herb mixture onto the top surface of the salmon, ensuring an even coating.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon cooks, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated.
Plate the quinoa as a base and top with the herb-crusted salmon. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-dense meal.
