Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa
Savor a vibrant dish featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet dressed in fresh herbs and garlic, paired with fluffy garlic-infused quinoa. This dish balances savory, aromatic flavors with a light, healthy profile.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
Press the herb mixture onto the flesh side of the salmon to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon, skin-side down first if applicable, for about 3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is searing, warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt, stirring for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Plate the garlic quinoa and gently place the herb-crusted salmon atop. Serve immediately.
