INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
½ cup cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle half of the chopped parsley evenly over the fillet.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and allow it to sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Drizzle lemon juice over the cooked salmon and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve the pan-seared salmon on a bed of warm quinoa.
