INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Dill)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped fresh herbs with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil to form a simple herb paste.
Press the herb mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet to create a flavorful crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the salmon, skin-side down if applicable. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the crust is golden.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
Meanwhile, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Plate a serving of quinoa and top with the pan-seared salmon. Drizzle any remaining herb mixture from the pan over the top for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced and delicious meal.
