INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 Garlic clove (minced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked quinoa with lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of lemon herb quinoa, and serve immediately.
