Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- 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.
