INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil to create an herb mixture.
Lightly press the herb mixture onto the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if present, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and reduce heat to medium, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through but still moist.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if needed, or serve at room temperature.
Plate the quinoa and top with the pan-seared herb-crusted salmon. Garnish with additional parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
