If you are looking for a fuss free meal this summer then I have the perfect recipe for you! Clean Eating SUMMERTIME Salmon Quinoa! It’s a beaut!
Every now and then I like to buy some ready to eat roasted salmon flakes for a quick and delicious meal (see Clean Eating Salmon Broccoli Spaghetti). It just means that I can rest a little easier knowing that I have a quick go to meal sitting in the fridge on a day that turned out busier than expected.
Clean Eating Summertime Salmon Quinoa is a quick and delicious family meal. It’s packed with protein and omega 3. If you couldn’t get hold of roasted salmon flakes you could just use some regular cooked salmon. 1 or 2 fillets will do perfect. I serve this meal at room temperature but you could also make it in advance and store it in the fridge until needed.
