Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor the perfect blend of tender, pan-seared salmon with a fresh herb crust, paired alongside a fluffy bed of quinoa. This dish features vibrant herbs and a hint of lemon, offering a beautifully balanced meal that's both nutritious and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper if desired.
Press chopped fresh parsley onto the top of the salmon to form a light herb crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa as a base, then top with the pan-seared salmon. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for a bright finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
