A delicious and healthy Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring succulent salmon, quinoa salad, and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until cooked through.
  2. Prepare the quinoa while the salmon is baking by rinsing it under cold water and cooking according to package instructions, usually boiling in double the amount of water for about 15 minutes, until fluffy and tender.
  3. Combine the cooked quinoa with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl.
  4. Dress the salad by drizzling lemon juice and additional olive oil over the mixture and tossing gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve by placing a generous portion of the quinoa salad in a bowl, topping it with a salmon fillet, and garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

Pair with crusty whole-grain bread and a crisp white wine for an exquisite meal.
