Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Delight in a beautifully pan-seared salmon fillet coated in a fragrant blend of fresh herbs, served alongside a fluffy bed of quinoa. This dish combines tender, flavorful fish with a light, nutty grain, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon to enhance the natural flavors.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Coat the salmon with the chopped fresh herbs to create an herb crust.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and tender.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the quinoa as per package directions if not already cooked.
Plate the quinoa as a base, top with the herb-crusted salmon, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
