Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this herb-infused pan-seared salmon paired with fluffy quinoa. The salmon boasts a crispy, fragrant herb crust that enhances its natural richness, while the quinoa delivers a light, nutty backdrop perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, dried thyme, garlic powder, and lemon zest.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil, then press the herb mixture onto the flesh side to create an even crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a touch of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon flesh-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crisp crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed. Plate a serving of quinoa and top with the herb-crusted salmon.
Garnish with extra fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired, then serve immediately.
