Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet with a fresh herb crust complemented by a side of fluffy quinoa. This dish blends the delicate flavors of lime and fresh herbs with the rich, satisfying texture of perfectly cooked salmon, making it a wholesome and vibrant choice for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Gently press this herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet to create a crust.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, herb side down, in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and fragrant.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave until heated through.
Plate the salmon on a bed of quinoa and garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley if desired before serving.
