INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Mixed Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and finely chopped herbs. Mix well to create the herb marinade.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking tray. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread the herb marinade evenly over the top of the salmon to form a light crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, heat the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat, or warm it in the microwave until heated through.
Plate a serving of quinoa and top with the baked herb-crusted salmon. Optionally garnish with a few extra fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
