Savor the vibrant flavors of this herb-crusted salmon paired with tangy lemon garlic quinoa. The salmon is pan-seared to a perfect golden crust while the quinoa is delicately infused with zesty lemon and aromatic garlic. A light yet satisfying meal that celebrates fresh herbs and clean ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt, black pepper, and fresh mixed herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the cooked quinoa. Stir in the minced garlic and fresh lemon juice, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1-2 minutes.
Plate the quinoa first, then nestle the herb-crusted salmon on top, drizzling any remaining pan juices over for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced meal.
