Salmon and Quinoa Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and frozen peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add the cubed salmon fillet to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is slightly opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the vegetable broth over the quinoa in the baking dish. Top with the cooked salmon and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
