Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor the flavors of a perfectly seared salmon, kissed with a fragrant herb crust and served over a bed of fluffy quinoa. This dish combines the richness of salmon with the nutty taste of quinoa, enhanced by a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil, for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 medium Lemon
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch Sea Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh parsley and dill. Zest half of the lemon into the herb mix for added brightness.
Lightly press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle the olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust forms and the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, reheat or prepare the cooked quinoa according to package instructions if needed.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, then place the seared salmon on top.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and quinoa before serving to add a zesty finish.
