Preparation
- Rinse 1/4 cup of quinoa under cold water, then combine it with 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the water is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes. Fluff it with a fork when it's done.
- Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it's golden and flaky.
- In another pot, steam the broccoli and green beans until they're tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the egg in boiling water and cook for around 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk. Once done, cool it off, peel the shell, and slice it.
Assembly
- Start with a base of fluffy quinoa in your serving bowl. Next, add the cooked salmon, steamed broccoli, green beans, halved tomato, and sliced egg. Garnish with fresh parsley.
