Citrus-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Carrots and Rosemary Quinoa

A light and flavorful dish featuring succulent salmon glazed with a tangy citrus mixture, served alongside roasted carrots and fluffy rosemary quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Salmon fillet, skin on
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Orange zest
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb Carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups Water or Vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp Salt

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 zest, honey, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the citrus glaze over the salmon, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Arrange sliced carrots around the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a medium saucepan, bring water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked through and liquid absorbed. Stir in rosemary during the last minute of cooking.
  6. Roast salmon and carrots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and carrots are tender.
  7. Fluff quinoa with a fork and serve alongside the roasted salmon and carrots.
