Herb-Crusted Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet crusted with fragrant herbs paired with light, fluffy quinoa. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of lean protein and nutritious grains, accented by a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon, perfect for a wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillet, then press the herb mixture onto the top of the fish to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until just cooked through and the herb crust is golden.
Warm the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, then top with the seared salmon. Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice over the salmon for a fresh, bright flavor.
