Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor the delightful flavors of perfectly seared salmon encrusted with fresh herbs, served atop a bed of fluffy quinoa. This dish marries the rich, tender texture of salmon with the light, nutty undertones of quinoa, making it an ideal, balanced meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, fresh thyme, chopped parsley (reserve a bit for garnish), salt, and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan, 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 or until the fish is cooked through yet remains tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the cooked quinoa as per package instructions if not already cooked.
Plate the quinoa as a base and gently place the seared salmon on top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired, then serve immediately.
