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.

Ingredients

• 180 grams Quinoa rinsed
• 500 ml Stock I used 500ml water and 2 teaspoons of bouillon stock powder
• 150 grams Asparagus
• 150 grams Fresh Broccoli Florets
• 100 grams Cooked Salmon Flakes

Instructions

1. Place the rinsed quinoa into a saucepan with the stock and turn on the heat.
2. Once bubbling, cover the saucepan with a lid and turn down the heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
3. Once cooked, pour the quinoa onto a large dinner plate to cool.
4. Whilst the quinoa is cooling, steam the asparagus and broccoli for 5 minutes. (or until tender).
5. Once cooked, remove from the steamer and allow to cool.
6. Once the quinoa, asparagus and the broccoli have reached room temperature, place them into a large bowl and add the cold salmon flakes.
7. Stir to combine and serve with a side salad. Alternatively, you can refrigerate and use later on when you are ready.
