Citrus Salmon Salad with Quinoa and Avocado

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine quinoa with 400 ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy.

2. 2

   Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3. 3

   Slice the orange and lemon in half. Juice one half of each into a bowl and reserve the remaining halves for garnish.

4. 4

   Add salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until skin is crispy, then flip. Pour the citrus juice over the salmon and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

5. 5

   Remove salmon from the pan and let it rest. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, mixed salad greens, diced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion.

6. 6

   Flake the salmon into large chunks and gently mix into the salad. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad and toss gently. Serve with orange and lemon slices for garnish.
