Lemon-Ginger Salmon with Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Quinoa

A flavorful and healthy weeknight dinner featuring pan-seared salmon with a zesty lemon-ginger marinade, roasted brussel sprouts, and fluffy quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb Brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  3. Place salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are coated.

  4. Toss Brussel sprouts with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.

  5. Roast salmon and Brussel sprouts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and Brussel sprouts are tender and slightly browned.

  6. While the salmon and vegetables roast, rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine quinoa with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.

  7. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork.

  8. Serve roasted salmon over a bed of quinoa, topped with roasted Brussel sprouts.
