Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Combine the quinoa and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Prepare Vinaigrette

  1. 2

    Mix Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify.

Cook Trout

  1. 3

    Pan-Roast Trout

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the trout fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Plate the Dish

  1. 4

    Assemble

    On each plate, serve a scoop of quinoa, topped with roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts. Place the pan-roasted trout on top and drizzle with lemon oregano vinaigrette.
