Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor a vibrant medley of pan-seared salmon with a fresh herb crust, perfectly paired with fluffy quinoa. This dish brings together tender, richly flavored salmon, accentuated with lemon zest and fragrant parsley, for a bright and balanced meal that delights the senses.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 Lemon (zest and juice)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the chopped parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl. Press this herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if necessary, or serve at room temperature.
Plate the salmon on a bed of quinoa, drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately.
