Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the glaze over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the salmon is baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, chopped parsley, chopped mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss well to combine.
  7. Serve the spicy honey glazed salmon on a bed of quinoa salad. Enjoy!
