Savor the delicate flavors of a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet accented by a vibrant herb crust and a fresh splash of lemon. This dish offers a satisfying balance of protein and healthy fats, finished with aromatic herbs and a hint of citrus for an uplifting dining experience.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Fresh Lemon
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season it lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped fresh parsley and thyme. Zest half a lemon over the herbs to release aromatic oils.
Press the herb mixture evenly onto the top surface of the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add one teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon, herb-side up, in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring a crispy crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through but still moist inside.
Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the fillet just before serving, and enjoy immediately.
