Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor the elegance of a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a fresh herb crust, perfectly paired with fluffy quinoa. This dish offers a delightful blend of tender fish and light, nutty quinoa, accented with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of lemon for brightness.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Herb Mix
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the fresh herb mix with a drizzle of olive oil to create the herb crust.
Press the herb mixture evenly onto the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Place the salmon, skin-side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust forms and the salmon releases easily from the pan.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through to your liking.
While the salmon cooks, warm the cooked quinoa in a separate small pot or microwave.
Plate the quinoa and top with the herb-crusted salmon. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the top and serve immediately.
