Main Ingredients

  • 4 fillets Salmon
  • 1 cup Quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Cucumber diced
  • ¼ cup Red Onion finely chopped

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the salmon is baking, cook the quinoa. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
