Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa
Savor a beautifully seared salmon fillet coated with aromatic herbs paired with a flavorful garlic-infused quinoa. This dish delivers a balanced plate with tender, juicy salmon and a light, herbed quinoa base, perfect for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Quinoa (uncooked)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 cup Water
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley and thyme.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small saucepan, add the rinsed quinoa, water, and a crushed garlic clove. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the remaining chopped parsley and thyme. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the garlic quinoa and top with the herb-crusted seared salmon. Serve warm and enjoy!
