Quinoa and Salmon Salad with Lemon Herb Dressing
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or vegetable broth
2 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, kale, etc.)
1 cucumber, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving
For the Lemon Herb Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or basil), chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Lemon Herb Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mixed greens, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Flake the baked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad.
Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the lemon herb dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve: Divide the quinoa and salmon salad onto plates or bowls. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
