Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Savor the simplicity of pan seared salmon encrusted with fresh herbs and a hint of lemon, artfully paired with a light side of quinoa. This dish embodies a bright, fresh flavor profile, combining the savory richness of salmon with a tangy citrus kick for a balanced, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the chopped fresh herbs (parsley and dill) with a little salt and pepper to create an herb mixture.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the flesh side of the salmon.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the herbs are slightly crisped.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is cooked through but still moist inside.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon during the last minute of cooking to infuse a bright citrus flavor.
Plate the salmon alongside the warm cooked quinoa to create a wholesome meal.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, herbaceous flavors.
