Savor the delightful contrast of a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet, encrusted with a fragrant blend of herbs, paired with a light serving of nutty quinoa.

INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the mixed dried herbs and garlic powder.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the top to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the cooked quinoa if necessary.
Plate the salmon alongside the quinoa, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
