Grilled Salmon with Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups of water
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place the salmon on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- To serve, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 plates. Top each with a grilled salmon fillet and a portion of the roasted vegetables. Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy!
