Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Savor the bright flavors of perfectly pan-seared salmon dressed in a fragrant herb crust and a squeeze of fresh lemon. This dish delivers a delightful balance of tender, juicy fish coupled with the light, nutty notes of quinoa, making every bite a celebration of clean, satisfying ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (from about ½ lemon)
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
½ cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Rub the salmon with olive oil and press chopped fresh parsley evenly over the top to create an herb crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, drizzle the salmon with fresh lemon juice to enhance its flavor.
Serve the pan seared salmon alongside the cooked quinoa, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired.
