Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa under cold water until water runs clear, then combine with 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Pat the 6 oz salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp sea salt, then place skin-side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1/2 cup grated beetroot with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp chopped dill until evenly coated. Gently fold the cooked salmon and quinoa into the beetroot mixture, ensuring the salmon remains intact. Serve warm for optimal cardiovascular benefits.
