Ingredients
- 300g salmon fillets
- 120g broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 tsp Moroccan spice mix
- 1 orange, rind grated, sliced into rounds
- 1½ cups water
- ¾ cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ bunch asparagus, cut into 3cm pieces
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Pepper
Methods
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
- Place quinoa and water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 15–20 mins, until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Rub orange rind and Moroccan spice mix over salmon, and season well with pepper. Arrange orange slices on a lined baking tray and place salmon fillets on top. Cook for 10–12 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and broccoli. Cook, stirring for about 6 minutes, until almost tender.
- Add asparagus and garlic. Cook, stirring until vegetables are just tender. Stir in quinoa.
- Serve quinoa topped with salmon and orange slices. Enjoy!
