Ingredients


250 gm Atlantic salmon, wild (fillet)
100 gm Quinoa, cooked (3.5 oz)
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 clove(s) Garlic (crushed)
70 gm Sun-dried tomatoes (2.5 oz; rinsed, chopped)
2 tbsp Soy sauce, tamari
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1/2 tsp Paprika, sweet
1/2 tsp Paprika (hot)
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tsp Honey
1 tbsp Sesame seeds, black
1/4 tsp Hot pepper (chili) flakes (to taste)

Instructions


  • Mix together the ingredients of the marinade and cover the salmon to marinate for about 1 hour. 
  • While the salmon is marinating, cook the quinoa and spiralize the zucchini.
  • Heat the oil in the pan, add the crushed garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add in the zoodles and stir occasionally until it softens (about 3-4 minutes). Towards the end add the chopped tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat the oven to 480°F (250°C) and place the salmon on a baking tray or casserole dish. Bake for about 7 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven to rest for a moment. In the meantime, pour in the salmon juices into the quinoa, and mix well.  
  • Divide the quinoa and zoodles between two plates, then place the salmon on top. Sprinkle with chili flakes to serve.
