Herb-Crusted Baked Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring a tender, herb-crusted salmon fillet paired with fluffy quinoa. This recipe marries the rich, savory flavors of baked salmon with the light, nutty taste of quinoa, accented by fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 Lemon wedge
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and finely chopped fresh herbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the surface dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Press the breadcrumb and herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet, ensuring an even coat.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done, and warm it gently if needed.
Plate the baked salmon over a serving of quinoa and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving for added brightness.
