Enjoy a perfectly pan seared salmon rich in herbs, paired with nutty quinoa and a vibrant hint of lemon. This dish is a harmonious blend of tender, flaky fish with a crunchy, flavorful crust of fresh herbs and garlic, making it a delightful meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Fresh Thyme (chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 Lemon wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh parsley, thyme, and minced garlic.
Press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, herb side down, in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust firms up and turns golden.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if necessary, and plate it alongside the salmon.
Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon and quinoa before serving.
