Quinoa Bowl with Grilled Salmon and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of mixed vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a grilled salmon fillet and a portion of the roasted vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
The quinoa bowl with grilled salmon and roasted vegetables has a rich history rooted in the fusion of South American and Pacific Northwest cuisines. This dish combines the ancient Andean grain, quinoa, with the abundant seafood and fresh produce of the Pacific coast. Renowned chefs in the Pacific Northwest, such as Tom Douglas in Seattle, have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique culinary flair. The best versions of this dish can be found in coastal regions where fresh salmon is readily available. The key to a perfect quinoa bowl lies in perfectly grilled salmon and a colorful array of roasted vegetables, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
