Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy an elegant dinner where succulent salmon meets nutty quinoa, all accented with a blend of fresh herbs and a tangy lemon finish. This dish is artfully seared to lock in moisture and flavor, creating a satisfying meal that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the chopped fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté briefly until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Place the salmon fillet in the pan skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crisp crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a saucepan or microwave.
Plate the salmon on a serving dish, add the warm quinoa on the side, and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for a burst of freshness.
