Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor a perfectly seared salmon fillet with a fragrant herb crust paired alongside fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a delightful contrast between the crispy, flavorful exterior of the salmon and the nutty, tender quinoa, finished with a fresh burst of lemon and herbs for a harmoniously balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (minced)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the minced parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to form the herb crust.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil, then evenly press the herb mixture onto the flesh side of the salmon.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to turn opaque.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for a medium doneness, or longer if desired.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the cooked quinoa if not pre-cooked. Warm it up in a small pot or microwave.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the warm quinoa. Optionally, drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the quinoa and garnish with extra parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, flavorful meal.
