Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Enjoy a delicate balance of tender, pan-seared salmon enveloped in a light herb crust and accented with fresh lemon zest and juice. This dish brings together the rich flavors of the sea with aromatic herbs, complemented by a side of crisp steamed broccoli for a well-rounded, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (parsley and thyme)
1 clove Garlic
1 cup steamed Broccoli
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh herbs with lemon zest extracted from the medium lemon.
Rub the herb mixture onto the salmon fillet to evenly coat it.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) in the hot pan and sear for about 4 minutes to develop a crispy crust.
Carefully flip the salmon and add a minced garlic clove to the pan, letting it infuse the oil for about 1 minute.
Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes.
Plate the salmon with the steamed broccoli on the side and drizzle with any remaining lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
