Enjoy a beautifully pan-seared salmon topped with a burst of fresh herbs and zesty lemon, served alongside a light mixed greens salad with cherry tomatoes. This dish is perfectly balanced with lean protein and vibrant flavors, ideal for a nourishing lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil (for cooking)
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Dill)
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
2 cups Mixed Greens
2 oz Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 tsp Olive Oil for Salad Dressing
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh mixed herbs with lemon zest to create the crust mixture.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
During the final minute of cooking, drizzle the salmon with half the lemon juice to infuse flavor.
For the salad, combine mixed greens and cherry tomatoes in a bowl.
Dress the salad with the remaining lemon juice and an additional 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, tossing gently to coat.
Plate the salmon and serve with the fresh salad on the side.
