INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season with garlic powder, lemon zest, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley to form a light herb crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and reduce heat to medium; cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your preferred doneness.
While the salmon cooks, gently reheat the cooked quinoa in a small pot or microwave.
Plate the salmon over a bed of quinoa, and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
