Savor the delicate flavors of pan-seared salmon with a vibrant herb crust paired with fluffy quinoa. This dish is a harmonious blend of textures and aromas, featuring the bright zest of lemon and the fresh tang of parsley and dill, making it a perfect balanced meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley and dill.
Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the top side to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
Meanwhile, reheat or prepare your cooked quinoa as needed.
Plate the quinoa and top with the pan-seared salmon. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the dish and serve immediately.
