Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon fillets
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 1.5 cups Water
  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ginger powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa and combine with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. While asparagus roasts, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and turmeric-ginger mix. Sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork. Stir in lemon juice and garlic powder.
  5. Serve seared salmon over turmeric-ginger quinoa, with roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.
