PREPARATION

  • 1

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with water (using a ratio of approximately 1:2), bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until the grains are tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

  • 2

    Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  • 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

  • 4

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 5

    Stir in the lemon juice and capers, allowing the sauce to bubble for about 1 minute to meld the flavors.

  • 6

    To serve, lay a bed of cooked quinoa on a plate, place the seared salmon atop the quinoa, and drizzle the lemon caper sauce over the salmon.

  • 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
