INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, finely chop the fresh parsley, dill, and garlic. Mix them together with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to form the herb mixture.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over the fillet and then evenly coat the top with the herb mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a separate small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa and gently place the herb-crusted salmon on top. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more lemon juice and garnish with extra fresh herbs before serving.
