Ingredients:
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- Juice of 1 lime
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked through and the water is absorbed.
- While the quinoa cooks, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Place salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pour half of the coconut-lime mixture over the salmon.
- Toss broccoli florets with remaining coconut-lime mixture and spread evenly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in any desired extra lime zest.
- Serve the spiced salmon over the coconut-lime quinoa, topped with roasted broccoli.
