Fresh Lemon-Pepper Salmon with Quinoa

Ingredients

• •4 fillets Atlantic Salmon Fillet
• •1 cup quinoa
• •2 cups water
• •1 tbsp cooking oil
• •1 lemon
• •1 tsp salt
• •1 tsp pepper

Directions

1. 1Rinse quinoa and cook in 2 cups water with a pinch of salt for 15 minutes.
2. 2Pat salmon fillets dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and the lemon zest.
3. 3Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. 4Cook salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes, then flip and cook 3 more minutes.
5. 5Fluff quinoa with a fork and divide among four plates.
6. 6Place a salmon fillet on each plate, squeeze the lemon over, and serve immediately.

💡 Quinoa should be fully drained and fluffed before salmon is added; trapped cooking water makes the bowl taste washed out.
