Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor a perfectly seared salmon fillet encrusted with a medley of fresh herbs and zesty lemon, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa. This dish delivers a bright, herbaceous flavor combined with a satisfying protein boost and balanced, wholesome ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest (from half a lemon), salt, and black pepper.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the top of the fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side down if skin is on, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your preferred doneness.
Warm the cooked quinoa if necessary and plate it as a base for the salmon.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving for an extra burst of brightness.
