Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups mixed roasted vegetables (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the broth is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Toss the mixed roasted vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a separate baking sheet.
  • Place both the salmon and vegetables in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from the oven and serve the baked salmon on a bed of cooked quinoa, alongside the roasted vegetables.
  • Drizzle the salmon and vegetables with additional lemon juice if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
