Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon fillets
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets
  • 1/2 Red bell pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse quinoa and combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour the turmeric-ginger mixture over the salmon, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, if using, steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp. Dice red bell pepper if using.
  6. Serve baked salmon over quinoa. Garnish with steamed broccoli and diced red bell pepper (optional).
