Herb-Crusted Double Protein Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic salmon, featuring a herb-crusted, perfectly baked fillet paired with light, fluffy quinoa. This dish delivers a double dose of protein with a subtle crunch from the herb topping, balanced by the earthy notes of quinoa and a hint of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix fresh parsley, fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the herb crust.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and brush lightly with olive oil. Press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon to form an even crust.
Place the salmon on the baking sheet, skin side down if applicable, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, warm up your cooked quinoa either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Plate a bed of quinoa and gently place the baked salmon on top. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
