INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic clove
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley with a pinch of salt and pepper to form the herb crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the lemon butter sauce by melting unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, then stir in lemon juice.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet, sprinkle the herb mixture over the top, and drizzle with the lemon butter sauce.
Serve the herb-crusted salmon over a bed of 1/2 cup cooked quinoa. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
