INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley, dill, and lemon zest. Season the salmon with salt and pepper before pressing the herb mixture evenly onto the top of the fillet to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon, herb side up, into the skillet.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on the herb-crusted side until it develops a nice golden color.
Carefully flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, gently warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a separate pan or microwave. If desired, season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Plate the seared salmon on a bed of quinoa and serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors of the herbs and perfectly cooked salmon.
