Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor the vibrant flavors of tender salmon seared to perfection with a fresh herb crust, paired with light, fluffy quinoa. This balanced dish is both satisfying and nutritious, offering bright herb notes, a hint of garlic, and the freshness of lemon, making it a delightful option for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, and lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil.
Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper, then press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the teaspoon of olive oil and let it heat up.
Place the salmon fillet, herb-side down, in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your preference.
Plate the seared salmon over the prepared quinoa. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor before serving.
