Savor a beautifully pan-seared salmon fillet coated in a fragrant herb crust, served over a bed of nutty quinoa. This dish offers a perfect harmony of fresh herbs, zesty lemon, and a delicate balance of textures to delight your palate while meeting your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped fresh parsley, fresh dill, and lemon zest.
Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil, then press the herb mixture onto one side of the fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon crust-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the herbs are fragrant and slightly crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave.
Plate the quinoa as a base and top with the pan-seared salmon. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
