Typically we buy our salmon at Costco in bulk and cut it up into individual portion sizes and freeze it. This guarantees that we almost always have it on hand. Whole Foods also has great sales on their frozen wild salmon (and other fish for that matter), so we usually pick up a few frozen filets when we are there. Trader Joe's has some great organic quinoa options, but you can really buy this item anywhere. We typically buy the kale fresh at whole foods or the farmer's market, but lately we have been picking up extra pre-washed bags of the organic green at Trader Joe's (great for smoothies too!). We would probably live at TJ's if we could...don't get us started on the wine selection!
Take a look below for some very simple instructions of how to pull this meal together quickly. A dash of hot sauce or siracha can really liven it up and give it a tasty kick. We recommend having plenty of lemon on hand as this really compliments each of these food items.
FOR THE KALE:
-Wash with cold water and place kale in bottom heavy pan
-Saute with the juice of 1 lemon and 1 diced garlic clove
FOR THE QUINOA:
-Rinse the quinoa in cold water
-Pour water into pot and add quinoa.
-Once the water starts boiling, turn the heat down to simmer
-Cook for 20 minutes
FOR THE SALMON:
-Combine olive oil, pepper, lemon juice and diced garlic in a pan
-Cook for 5 minutes on each side (rule of thumb is 10 minutes per inch of thickness)
-Serve as filet or cut into pieces for a 'quinoa bowl'
As always, feel free to add or substitue to your liking. Remember this is our simple go to meal, nothing fancy, just tasty and healthy.
Happy Tasting,
Paul/a
