Roasted Fennel and Herb-Crusted Salmon with Steamed Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dish featuring a succulent 5-ounce salmon fillet with a vibrant herb crust, perfectly accented by roasted fennel and fluffy steamed quinoa. This meal brings together the aromatic blend of fresh herbs and lemon with tender, flaky salmon, making for a delicious and satisfying dinner that is as nutritious as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 medium Fennel Bulb
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Thinly slice the fennel bulb and toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread the slices on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the fennel roasts, pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix the fresh chopped herbs (parsley and dill) and press the mixture onto the top of the salmon to form a crust.
Place the salmon on a separate baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven alongside the fennel for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon and fennel are roasting, steam the quinoa. If not already cooked, rinse quinoa under cold water, then combine with water in a small saucepan (use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Plate the steamed quinoa as the base, top with roasted fennel slices, and place the herb-crusted salmon on top.
Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon and serve immediately.
