Equipment

  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 cooking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of dry quinoa
  • 1 medium grated carrot
  • 1 small leek
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 nori sheet
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 fillets of salmon about 500 g
  • 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp of maple syrup
  • 1/2 Tbsp of Dijon mustard
  • 1 pound green beans or green peas 450 g
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh coriander to serve

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bitter outer coating. Drain well.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leek & shredded carrot and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes soft and slightly translucent. Add the rinsed quinoa to the saucepan with the sautéed leek & carrot. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes to lightly toast the quinoa.
  • Add 2 cups of VB to the quinoa. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the and is tender. Keep the lid on while simmering.
  • Once the quinoa is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes. Then, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Add nori (cut with kitchen scissors into small pieces). Taste the quinoa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.
  • Preheat your oven to 400° F (200° C). In a small bowl, create a marinade by combining ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ tablespoon of maple syrup, and ½ tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
    Coat each of the 4 salmon fillets with the marinade, ensuring they are well-covered.
    Place the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 until the salmon is cooked to perfection.
  • Boil green beans according to the package instructions, and mix with pressed garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Serve and enjoy!
