In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat on the stove, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While the quinoa simmers, season the mahi-mahi on both sides with the remaining salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
When the quinoa is nearly tender, place the snap peas in a steamer basket over the saucepan. Cover and steam for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until the fish is opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center and flakes easily, 145°F.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the steamed snap peas. Place the quinoa and peas on a plate, top with the mahi-mahi, and drizzle the lemon juice over the fish.
