Salmon & Lemon-Dill Quinoa
4 salmon filets
2 tbsp olive oil
½ yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cups water or vegetable broth (or 1 cup of each)
1 cup quinoa
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp honey
1 tsp sriracha
⅓ cup crumbled feta
2 tbsp fresh dill, minced
½ tbsp lemon juice
4 lemon wedges
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and a big pinch of salt & pepper. Let caramelize for 5 mins. Add bell pepper and cook for another 5 mins. Add water or broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling add the quinoa and another big pinch of salt & pepper. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook for about 12 mins, until all the liquid has absorbed. Meanwhile, combine the dijon, honey, and sriracha in a small bowl. Place salmon filets on a lined baking sheet and season each filet with ⅛ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper. Then, spread the dijon marinade evenly over the top of the 4 filets. Roast in the oven for 12-14 mins.
When the quinoa is finished, add to a medium bowl with the feta, dill, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Serve on the side with your salmon filet and a lemon wedge.
