Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a vibrant, protein-packed meal with seared salmon adorned in a delicate herb crust paired with fluffy quinoa. The subtle infusion of olive oil and lemon elevates the natural flavors of the salmon, creating a light yet satisfying dish perfect for a balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Mixed Dried Herbs
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel.
Sprinkle the salmon evenly with mixed dried herbs and a few drops of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to coat the pan.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is searing, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
To assemble, plate the quinoa as a base, then gently place the seared salmon on top. Drizzle with a little extra lemon juice if desired.
