Ingredients
Quinoa
- 1 cup dry multi-colored quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
Vegetables
- 2 bunches broccolini or broccoli
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled or unpeeled, cubed
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoons sea salt divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper divided
Salmon
- 4 oz filets of salmon
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard or dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- kosher or fine sea salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- Lemon Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Rinse and drain quinoa. Add quinoa and broth (or water) to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Add the sweet potato chunks to a large bowl and toss with 1 Tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Keep the bowl for later use! Add sweet potato chunks to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil and roast for 20 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway.
- Prepare broccolini by adding it to the same bowl you used for the sweet potatoes and tossing it with 1 Tablespoon oil, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. When the 20 minutes is up on the sweet potatoes add broccolini to one half of the baking tray and return to the oven to roast for 12-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes and broccolini is tender.
- While veggies are roasting prep salmon. Season both sides of each salmon filet with salt and pepper. Place filets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking dish or tray and roast for 10 minutes at 400°F.
- While salmon is roasting, mix together mustard, lemon juice, maple and garlic. Remove salmon from oven, spread sauce over salmon and return to oven for 4-5 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flaky.
- To make the bowls, divide quinoa into 4 servings (about ½ cup). Top with veggies, salmon and a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette.
- To meal prep: Add layer of quinoa and top with salmon, then add broccolini and sweet potatoes next to the salmon. Once ready to enjoy, heat if desired and top with a drizzle of dressing.
