Ingredients

  • A dash of olive oil
  • A finely chopped onion
  • A couple of minced garlic cloves
  • A generous portion of uncooked quinoa
  • A double portion of vegetable broth
  • A substantial serving of salmon fillets
  • A cup of flavorful white wine
  • A touch of water, as necessary
  • A drizzle of olive oil
  • A couple of minced garlic cloves
  • A bunch of Swiss chard with stems and tough ribs removed, leaves sliced into ribbons
  • A hint of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to your liking

Step 1

Begin by gently heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan set over medium heat. Saute the aromatic blend of onion and garlic until a delightful fragrance fills the air, approximately 2 minutes. Introduce quinoa to the onion medley, allowing it to lightly toast for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, pour the nourishing vegetable broth into the quinoa mixture, allowing it to reach a boil before covering and reducing the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the quinoa cook until tender, achieving a fluffy texture, which should take around 20 minutes of patient simmering.

Step 3

Simultaneously, in another saucepan over medium heat, create a poaching liquid by combining salmon, white wine, and water. Allow the salmon to simmer gently until it is perfectly cooked through and easily flakes with a fork, typically in 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, carefully transfer the salmon to a plate, discarding the skin, and proceed to flake the fish meat before setting it aside.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Saute another round of garlic until it releases its captivating aroma, taking about a minute. Introduce the vibrant Swiss chard and a touch of zesty lemon juice to the garlic, allowing the Swiss chard to wilt slightly for approximately 2 minutes before removing it from the heat.

Step 5

Finally, gently combine the flaked salmon and the garlicky Swiss chard with the cooked quinoa, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors. Season this delectable creation with a sprinkle of salt and a crack of black pepper to taste.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Start by storing your quinoa in an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent moisture from seeping in. This will ensure that your quinoa stays fluffy and delicious when you're ready to enjoy it.
  2. 2. Keep your salmon fillets in the freezer, individually wrapped in plastic wrap, for a quick and easy protein option when you need a healthy meal in a pinch. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
