Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a fresh twist on a classic salmon dish with a crisp, herb crust and tender, juicy salmon paired with fluffy quinoa. This meal is beautifully balanced, featuring aromatic herbs and a bright splash of lemon to elevate the natural flavors of the salmon.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Warm the cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa and place the seared salmon on top, then drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
