INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup dry Quinoa
1/4 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Rub this herb mixture over the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with half the olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the dry quinoa with water (typically a 1:2 ratio), bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, in a small skillet heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the juice of the lemon and mix well.
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lemon garlic mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve the herb-crusted salmon atop a bed of lemon garlic quinoa, and garnish with additional fresh parsley if preferred.
