INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, fresh dill, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and zest from half a lemon if desired to enhance the herb mixture.
Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet. Pat it dry, then spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, heat up the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate a serving of lemon garlic quinoa and top with the herb-crusted baked salmon.
Garnish with extra chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve warm.
