Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Enjoy a beautifully pan-seared salmon fillet with a fresh herb crust, served alongside fluffy quinoa. This balanced meal brings together the rich flavor of salmon with the light, nutty taste of quinoa and a hint of lemon, creating a dish that's both satisfying and invigorating.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Dill
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper.
Mix chopped fresh parsley, thyme, dill, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Lightly brush the salmon with extra virgin olive oil and press the herb mixture onto the top side of the fillet to form a crust.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the cooked quinoa according to package directions if not pre-cooked.
Plate the quinoa and top with the herb-crusted salmon. Serve immediately, perhaps with an additional squeeze of lemon if desired.
