    Pan-Fried Salmon, Spinach, and Garlic Quinoa

    This is a light, delicious recipe for you fish lovers that tastes amazing and is very low-calorie.

    Ingredients

    • 1 1 cup quinoa
    • 2 cups of water
    • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
    • Salt, to taste (around ¼ teaspoon salt per cup of quinoa)
    • Pepper to taste
    • ½ red onion, diced
    • 3 medium tomatoes, diced
    • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
    • 1 tablespoon avocado olive oil
    • ½ lemon
    • 1 lime
    • 4 Atlantic salmon filet (1 inch thick)

    Preparation

    Quinoa

    • Rinse the quinoa under running water for at least 30 seconds.
    • Drain well.
    • Combine the water and quinoa in a saucepan.
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to a simmer.
    • Cook the quinoa until all the water is absorbed, about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the amount of quinoa.
    • Reduce heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer.
    • Remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the quinoa steam for 5 minutes. This helps the quinoa get fluffy.
    • Remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a spoon or fork
    • Combine the quinoa with the seasonings, tomatoes, onions, and spinach in a large bowl.

    Salmon

    • Bring Salmon to room temperature for 10 minutes

    Place the Salmon filet on top or next to the quinoa mixture, and enjoy!
