Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a delightful twist on classic salmon, seared to perfection with a fragrant herb crust paired with a light, fluffy bed of quinoa. Fresh lemon and a drizzle of olive oil elevate the flavors, making this a balanced dish that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
1/4 lemon
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package directions until fluffy; set aside.
Mix chopped parsley and dill in a small bowl. Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet to create the crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon herb-side down.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes until the herb crust is crisp and golden.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
Squeeze lemon juice over the cooked salmon and serve atop the bed of quinoa.
