INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Lemon
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the fresh parsley, fresh thyme, garlic powder, and a little zest from the lemon.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the top side of the fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, herb side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches desired doneness.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
Serve your herb-crusted salmon atop a bed of 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, and enjoy a flavorful, balanced meal.
