Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Savor the delightful flavors of a perfectly pan-seared salmon with a bright lemon and herb crust, accented by a subtle garlic note and served alongside fluffy quinoa. This dish harmonizes fresh herbs and citrus with rich fish, delivering a balanced meal that’s both satisfying and nutrient-dense.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Fresh Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the zest of the lemon, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
Press the herb mixture evenly onto the top side of the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the salmon, herb side down, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and serve alongside warm, cooked quinoa for a balanced meal.
