Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Savor a perfectly pan-seared 5-ounce salmon fillet with a vibrant herb crust and a refreshing squeeze of lemon. This dish is paired with tender steamed asparagus and a serving of fluffy quinoa for a satisfying, balanced meal that delights the palate with a medley of fresh flavors.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
1/2 Lemon
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
5 spears Asparagus
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh herbs and olive oil to form a loose herb paste.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, meanwhile steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes, and warm the cooked quinoa.
Transfer the salmon to a plate and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Serve alongside the quinoa and asparagus.
Enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal!
