INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Coat the salmon lightly with olive oil and press the chopped fresh herbs onto the top side to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the salmon, herb side down first, for about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the salmon carefully and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave.
Plate the seared salmon atop a bed of quinoa, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
