JesseEatzA heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory dinner featuring flaky salmon and a zesty quinoa salad.
Rinse quinoa and bring to a boil in water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed.
Season salmon with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Heat a pan with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Sear salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Press down on the salmon when you first put it in the pan to get extra crispy skin.
Toss cooked quinoa with cucumber, lemon juice, parsley, and remaining olive oil.
Serve the seared salmon over the quinoa salad.
Salmon is rich in Omega-3s which help reduce inflammation after hard sparring sessions. Quinoa provides a complete protein source and great texture.
