Salmon quinoa bowl

Hey Everyone, I hope your day has been well.

Today I made this super tasty salmon quinoa bowl. You can’t really see the quinoa mixture but trust me, there is so much goodness underneath. I haven’t actually cooked quinoa in a long time but this dish made me realise why I liked it so much. The grains are light and not too heavy on the stomach. The salmon was cooked in the air fryer, maybe for a few minutes too long but I’m still getting used to the time and temperature.

As always, you can adjust the ingredients depending on how many portions you want. For me this is a delicious summer dish filled with nutritious vegetables and salads.

Makes 1 portion

1 salmon fillet

1 tbsp barbecue sauce

1/2 tsp oil

1/3 spring onion, finely sliced
