Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a light herb crust, served alongside fluffy quinoa. The aromatic blend of thyme and rosemary elevates the dish, making it a delicious, balanced option for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh thyme and rosemary with the teaspoon of olive oil to create the herb crust mixture.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, heat the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until warmed through.
Plate the salmon over a bed of warm quinoa and serve immediately. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
