Savor a delightful balance of flavors with a perfectly pan-seared herb-crusted salmon served atop a bed of fluffy quinoa. The fresh herbs and a hint of lemon create a vibrant taste experience, making this dish ideal for a healthy dinner that delights the senses.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, fresh parsley, and thyme. Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and lightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, warm up the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa as a bed and arrange the salmon on top. Garnish with any extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed meal.
