INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, thyme, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and mix to create an herb paste.
Evenly spread the herb paste over the top of the salmon fillet, pressing gently so it adheres.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin side down if present, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, reheat the pre-cooked quinoa if needed, or serve it at room temperature.
Plate the quinoa and place the seared salmon on top. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a lemon wedge on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy this nutrient-packed, herb-infused meal.
