Baked Salmon with Quinoa and Steamed Broccoli

1.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3.While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the salmon. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the salmon. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fillets.

4.Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5.While the salmon is baking, prepare the broccoli. Cut the broccoli into florets and steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.

6.Once everything is cooked, plate the quinoa, place a salmon fillet on top, and add a side of steamed broccoli. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil if desired and serve immediately.
