Enjoy a vibrant take on a classic salmon dish featuring a perfectly seared, herb-crusted salmon fillet paired with light, nutty quinoa. This dish balances rich flavors with a fresh, fragrant herb blend, delivering a satisfying, nutrient-packed meal ideal for a wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley, dill, thyme)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a mix of finely chopped fresh herbs combined with lemon zest.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden, crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until just heated through.
Plate the seared salmon atop a bed of quinoa and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
