Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Garlic Quinoa
Savor a delightful pan-seared salmon, crusted with fresh herbs and paired with light, garlicky quinoa. This dish is perfectly balanced, offering a crisp, flavorful exterior on the salmon complemented by the nutty texture of quinoa, all finished with a touch of lemon and olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix chopped fresh parsley with minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Press the herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, crust-side down, in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, then gently flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a saucepan or microwave and season with salt, pepper, and a little extra lemon juice if desired.
Plate the garlic quinoa alongside the pan-seared salmon, and serve immediately.
