Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cooked salmon
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup steamed broccoli
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup edamame
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Start by cooking the quinoa according to package instructions. Rinse it under cold water first to remove any residual bitterness. Combine it in a pot with double the amount of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiled, reduce to a simmer and cover for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the salmon by grilling or pan-searing it until cooked through. If grilling, aim for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until it flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for around 5 minutes until vibrant and tender. You can quickly prepare the remaining vegetables by shredding the carrots and measuring out the edamame, making this an efficient process.
In a bowl, layer the quinoa as the base, creating a warm, welcoming foundation for the other ingredients.
Top with cooked salmon, inviting avocado slices, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and the brilliant green edamame. Each ingredient should beckon to be tried.
Drizzle soy sauce and olive oil over the bowl, letting them meld together with the ingredients. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a zingy squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome, delicious dish that not only nourishes but also delights.
