Mel's Meals - Quinoa Salmon Salad

MEL!! I’ve been so busy I’ve been putting your meals off for ages. Unfortunately today’s meal isn’t even well documented, but I figure since it’s SUPER easy to make, you’ll get the idea by the finished product! This meal is extremely healthy, and tastes delicious! You can switch up the Salmon for trout, Halibut, Sole or whatever floats your boat! So here’s today’s meal; Quinoa Salmon Salad. The beauty is this makes enough salad to last a couple of days. You can either eat this fresh out of the oven, or cold the next day for lunch.



Quinoa Salmon Salad

1 cup of Quinoa
1 Cucumber, quartered
3 Green Onion, sliced
2 Grape Vine Tomatoes, diced
1 Medium sized Filet of Salmon
1 fresh Lemon
Olive oil



Preheat oven 400

 Step 1 - Cook the Quinoa, and refrigerate immediately to cool down.

 Step 2 - Prepare fish in baking dish with salt, pepper, olive oil and half the lemon cut in thin slices. Bake for 20-25 minutes (or until its flaky).

 Step 3 - While the fish is baking, prepare the cucumber, tomatoes & green onions, add to the Quinoa with a sprinkle of olive oil, salt & pepper. Refrigerate until fish is cooked.

 Step 4 - Place the filet of Salmon on the bed of Quinoa and drizzle a touch of olive oil & fresh lemon juice.

Enjoy!






Cheers!
