Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Quinoa
Savor a beautifully pan-seared salmon fillet with a refreshing herb crust, perfectly paired with a light serving of quinoa. This dish highlights the natural flavors of fresh parsley and lemon zest, elevated with a hint of garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, making it an ideal balanced meal for a healthy dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine finely chopped fresh parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
Press the herb mixture onto the salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating on the top side.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the salmon fillet, herb side up, 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 desired doneness is reached.
Meanwhile, warm up the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave.
Plate the quinoa and top with the pan seared salmon. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired and serve immediately.
