Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon
Savor the elegance of a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet lightly encrusted with fresh herbs and a hint of lemon zest. This dish is balanced with a side of fluffy quinoa, offering a delightful blend of citrus aroma, tender fish texture, and a subtle nutty base for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh parsley and lemon zest. Gently press this herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillet herb-side down and sear 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 cooked through but still moist in the center.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if necessary, or serve at room temperature.
Plate the salmon on a bed of quinoa and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze the lemon over the salmon before serving for an extra burst of citrus.
