Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Broccoli

   In a steam basket over boiling water, steam the broccoli florets for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Salmon

   Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture over the salmon fillets.

4. 4

   Grill the Salmon

   Place the salmon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

5. 5

   Serve

   On each plate, serve a portion of quinoa, topped with grilled salmon and a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional lemon juice if desired.
