INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, dill, and zest from half a lemon.
Lightly press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, herb-side down first, and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if necessary and toss with baby spinach and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Plate a bed of quinoa and spinach, then top with the herb-crusted salmon. Serve immediately.
