Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, toss the seasonal vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables on a separate section of the grill or in a grill basket for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once everything is cooked, serve the grilled salmon on a plate with a side of quinoa and grilled seasonal vegetables.
