Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a delicious twist on a classic dish with a perfectly pan-seared herb-crusted salmon paired with fluffy quinoa. The vibrant herbs and lemon zest add a burst of freshness, while a drizzle of olive oil enhances the natural flavors of the salmon and quinoa for a light and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
2 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix the chopped parsley, dill, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Press the herb mixture gently onto the surface of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the quinoa if not pre-cooked or gently reheat your pre-cooked quinoa.
Plate the quinoa and place the seared salmon on top or beside it, and serve immediately.
