Recipe: Grilled Salmon with Quinoa and Vegetables
If you’re looking for a nutritious, protein-rich and balanced dinner, this recipe is perfect for you. Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein and omega-3s, while quinoa provides complex carbohydrates and more plant-based protein. The vegetables provide fiber and essential micronutrients.
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 150g salmon fillet
- ½ cup of quinoa
- 1 cup of broccoli
- ½ grated carrot
- ½ sliced courgette
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aromatic herbs (thyme, oregano or parsley) to taste
Preparation method:
- Prepare the quinoa : Wash the quinoa well under running water. Cook it with double the amount of water and a pinch of salt, over low heat, until the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Set aside.
- Grilling the salmon : Season the salmon with lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper and herbs. Heat a non-stick frying pan with ½ tablespoon of olive oil and grill the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté the vegetables : In a frying pan with ½ tablespoon of olive oil, sauté the broccoli, carrot and zucchini for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assembly : Serve the salmon accompanied by the quinoa and sautéed vegetables.
Nutritional Benefits:
- Salmon : Rich in protein and omega-3, it helps with muscle recovery and cardiovascular health.
- Quinoa : Source of vegetable protein, complex carbohydrates and fiber.
- Vegetables : Provide essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Extra Tip:
For variety, you can replace the salmon with grilled chicken breast or tofu and use other vegetables such as peppers or spinach.
