Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon with a vibrant herb crust, served alongside fluffy quinoa. This dish harmonizes the rich, savory flavor of salmon with the fresh aroma of mixed herbs and a hint of lemon, creating a balanced meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh chopped herbs and lemon zest to create the herb crust.
Press the herb mixture gently onto the top side of the salmon fillet to adhere.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillet, herb side up, in the skillet.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if needed.
Serve the herb-crusted salmon atop a bed of quinoa and enjoy immediately.
