A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring a sweet and tangy citrus glaze drizzled over succulent salmon, perfectly complemented by roasted carrots and fluffy parsley quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, ginger, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  3. Place carrots on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
