Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a delightful plate featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a fragrant herb crust paired with fluffy quinoa. The burst of fresh lemon and herbs elevate this dish, making it a light yet satisfying option for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Place the salmon fillet on a clean surface and pat dry. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Season the salmon with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillet for added brightness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if skin is on) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just opaque in the center.
While the salmon cooks, prepare quinoa as per package instructions or reheat pre-cooked quinoa.
Plate a serving of quinoa and top with the pan-seared salmon. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon if desired.
