INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 Lemon
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Lightly drizzle with olive oil to form a herb paste.
Spread the herb paste evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the quinoa. In a small pot, bring a portion of water to a boil and add the cooked quinoa.
Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and finely minced garlic into the warm quinoa to infuse flavor.
Mix well and let it stand for a couple of minutes for the flavors to meld.
Serve the herb-crusted salmon over a bed of the lemon garlic quinoa. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
