Ingredients
Easy
Instructions / Directions
Serves: 2 Prep: 20 minutes- Place the salmon* in an oven-proof dish and cook at 180°C/356°F for 12-15 minutes until cooked through – or use an air-fryer, microwave or frying pan and cook accordingly. Remove the skin after cooking and divide into pieces.
- Heat the quinoa in the microwave according to packet instructions (usually 2 minutes!)
- Place the salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, and olives in two bowls, and top with the quinoa, salmon pieces, and avocado.
- Combine the lemon juice, basil, and olive oil in a small dish or jug to make a dressing and drizzle over each salad.
- Enjoy (alfresco ideally!)
*Salmon raised in ASC farms have the room to move in fresh, clean waters, meaning it’s better for the health of the environment and of the fish.
