Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 plates, top with the grilled salmon fillets, and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside. Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy!
