Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork.
Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly over the fillets.
Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Assemble Dish: Serve each salmon fillet over a bed of quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
Serve: Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!

Notes

Make Ahead: Prepare the quinoa and season the salmon in advance. Store the cooked quinoa and seasoned salmon separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. Bake the salmon just before serving.
Customizing the Flavor: Add fresh dill or thyme to the salmon for a more herbal flavor. Spice it up with red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. Serve with extra lemon wedges for an added burst of freshness.
Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
