Ingredients
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and prepared according to instructions
6 oz fresh or frozen wild Alaskan salmon
1/4 red onion, very finely chopped
12 fresh asparagus spears, tough ends trimmed
1/2 avocado, cubed
Juice and rind of one lemon
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
How to make it
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Spray glass or ceramic baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Add salmon fillet(s), flesh down, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork. Allow to cool to room temperature, preferably covered in the refrigerator. In the meantime, add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of quinoa in a medium pot and bring to a boil. When the water reaches a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed. This will take 12-15 minutes. You will notice that the quinoa becomes sort of translucent and you can “fluff” it with a fork. Allow to cool to room temperature. In a separate pot, bring about 2 to 3 inches of water to a boil. Steam asparagus in a vegetable steamer for about 10 minutes, until tender. Slice into 1-inch pieces, discarding the tough ends. Allow cooked asparagus to cool to room temperature. In a bowl, whisk extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and rind, Dijon mustard, honey, and a dash of salt and pepper until combined. Combine quinoa, red onion and asparagus in a large bowl. Add sauce and toss all ingredients until well combined. Add avocado and salmon right before serving. Toss all ingredients and serve cold or at room temperature.
