Savor the delicious balance of seared salmon with a vibrant herb crust paired alongside fluffy quinoa. This dish features a perfectly seared, tender salmon fillet adorned with a fresh blend of aromatic herbs and zesty lemon, creating a satisfying flavor profile that's both light and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. In a small dish, combine chopped parsley, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillet and rub it evenly, then press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet crust-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still tender.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the pre-cooked quinoa or cook it according to package directions if using raw quinoa.
Plate the seared salmon on a bed of quinoa and serve immediately with an optional garnish of additional fresh herbs.
