Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Quinoa
Enjoy a delightful fusion of flavors with tender, herb-crusted salmon perfectly pan seared to lock in moisture and flavors, served atop a zesty lemon quinoa bed. This dish is both refreshing and satisfying, offering a harmonious balance of tangy citrus, aromatic herbs, and the rich taste of salmon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Fresh Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel; season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the fillet to create an herb crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms; flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. Warm it in a small saucepan and stir in the juice of half a lemon for a zesty kick.
Plate the lemon quinoa as a base and place the seared salmon on top.
Garnish with extra parsley and a light drizzle of lemon juice if desired before serving.
