Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a light and flavorful dish featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a fresh herb crust, paired with a serving of fluffy quinoa. The combination delivers a delicate balance of protein and healthy fats, accented with aromatic herbs and a touch of lemon for brightness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Dried Thyme
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dried thyme, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Lightly coat the salmon with the spice mixture and press chopped fresh parsley onto the top to create an herb crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
Transfer the salmon to a plate, serve alongside the quinoa, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon for added brightness.
