Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor this delightful dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet encrusted with fresh herbs, paired with a fluffy bed of cooked quinoa. The bright notes of lemon and subtle olive oil drizzle bring a refreshing finish to this nutritious and balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the chopped fresh herbs with a small drizzle of olive oil to create a herb crust.
Press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil and allow it to heat.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, herb side down first, and sear for about 3 minutes until a crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed and plate it as a base for the salmon.
Squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the salmon, garnish with any extra herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
