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.

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
- Place the rinsed quinoa into a saucepan with the stock and turn on the heat.
- 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.
- Once cooked, pour the quinoa onto a large dinner plate to cool.
- Whilst the quinoa is cooling, steam the asparagus and broccoli for 5 minutes. (or until tender).
- Once cooked, remove from the steamer and allow to cool.
- Once the quinoa, asparagus and the broccoli have reached room temperature, place them into a large bowl and add the cold salmon flakes.
- Stir to combine and serve with a side salad. Alternatively, you can refrigerate and use later on when you are ready.
