Category:I found this tremendous, refreshing recipe for the summer and good health!
Ingredients: For the Grilled Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
For the Quinoa Salad:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Grilled Salmon:
Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4-6 minutes per side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley, if desired.
Quinoa Salad:
Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
Have a wonderful week,
