Grilled Salmon with Caprese Quinoa Salad

recette

• Étape 1
  Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. (Use pre-cooked quinoa or day-old quinoa to speed up the process!)
• Étape 2
  Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry. Season all over with salt, pepper & any additional seasonings you love! Drizzle neutral oil (we recommend avocado oil!) over the salmon & rub to coat.
• Étape 3
  Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon flesh side down & cook for 3-4 min, undisturbed. Flip. Continue grilling the salmon for another 3-4 min, then remove from the heat. Rest the salmon while preparing the caprese quinoa salad.
• Étape 4
  Transfer the cooked quinoa to a bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes & mini mozzarella balls, then add them to the quinoa.
• Étape 5
  In a small bowl, add the pesto with a drizzle of olive oil & a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix it all together until thin & pourable.
• Étape 6
  Drizzle the thinned pesto onto the quinoa & toss to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper & extra lemon juice.
• Étape 7
  Serve the grilled salmon with the caprese quinoa salad. Garnish with basil, if using. Enjoy!
