Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Enjoy a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet encrusted with fragrant fresh herbs and finished with a bright lemon drizzle. This dish is both elegant and nutritious, balancing rich omega-3 fats with a light, zesty finish. It pairs beautifully with a side of fluffy quinoa to round out the meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Mixed Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the fresh herbs with a drizzle of olive oil to create a herb paste.
Gently press the herb paste onto the top side of the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon, herb side down, in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the quinoa if not already done and warm it gently.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa, and serve immediately.
