INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet (142g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped fresh herbs with a drizzle of olive oil.
Press the herb mixture onto the flesh side of the salmon to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, herb side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, warm up the pre-cooked quinoa or prepare it according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Plate the quinoa, top with the pan-seared salmon, and garnish with a fresh lemon wedge.
Squeeze the lemon over the salmon just before serving for a burst of brightness.
