Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup creamy lemon dill dressing
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- Fresh dill, for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and flaky.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, and lemon zest. Toss with the creamy lemon dill dressing until well coated.
- Serve the quinoa mixture topped with the salmon. Garnish with fresh dill and extra lemon wedges if desired.
