INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions until fluffy.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh herbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat the olive oil in 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 crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through yet still moist.
Plate the cooked quinoa and top it with the herb-crusted salmon. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
