INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by patting the salmon dry with a paper towel and season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, lemon zest, and chopped parsley to create the herb crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the salmon in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until a golden crust forms and the fish is cooked to your liking.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa if not pre-cooked: rinse 1/4 cup dry quinoa, then simmer in water until fluffy, or simply use pre-cooked quinoa.
Plate the seared salmon and serve alongside 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa.
Garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and enjoy your healthy, protein-packed meal.
