Equipment
- Medium-Sized Pot With A Lid
Ingredients
- 2 Fresh Salmon Fillets (4-6 Oz. Each)
- 1/2 cup Quinoa
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
- 1 Small Zucchini Sliced
- 1 Small Yellow Squash Sliced
- 1/2 Red Onion Sliced
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized pot, add quinoa and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion.
- Add olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat vegetables evenly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables out on the lined baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the salmon fillets. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.
- When the vegetables are almost done, place the seasoned salmon fillets on the same baking sheet, skin side down.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon and vegetables cool for a few minutes.
- To serve, divide the cooked quinoa between two plates. Top each plate with a salmon fillet and roasted vegetables.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy Baked Salmon with Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables!
