Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Enjoy a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet, accented with fresh herbs, zesty lemon, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The crisp, seared exterior and tender, juicy interior make for a dish that's as visually appealing as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tablespoon Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, and lemon zest (using half a lemon).
Lightly coat the salmon with extra virgin olive oil, then press the herb mixture onto the top side of the fillet, forming a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Once heated, place the salmon, herb-side up, in the skillet.
Pan sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes without moving it to form a crisp crust.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the pan and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
