Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
A vibrant, flavorful dish featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet with a fragrant herb crust, served alongside a light bed of fluffy quinoa. The interplay of fresh herbs and a hint of lemon makes this meal both satisfying and refreshing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Finely chop the rosemary and thyme, then gently press the herbs onto the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon fillet skin side down (if it has skin) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches the desired level of doneness.
Warm the cooked quinoa if necessary and fluff with a fork. Mix in lemon juice and a pinch of salt if desired.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa, and garnish with a light drizzle of any remaining herb oil if you wish.
