INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and lightly rub the herb mixture evenly over the top. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, gently reheat the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or in the microwave until warm.
Plate the baked salmon alongside the quinoa, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
