Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze thickens. Set aside.
- Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked quinoa, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
