Baked Salmon & Spiced Quinoa

Ingredients
1 salmon fillet
1 cup quinoa
2 cloves garlic diced
1/2 onion diced
Dried mixed herbs
Salt and pepper
1/2 tspn of cumin seeds
1/2 tspn of thyme
Rocket leaves or salad



Preheat oven to 180deg. 

In a small saucepan lightly fry onion and garlic until browned, then add the quinoa grains and recommended water measure. Allow the quinoa to gently simmer until the water is absorbed. 

While quinoa is cooking place salmon on a baking tray and season with pepper and mixed herbs, then place in the oven to cook for 15 mins.

Check if the quinoa is cooked and the water absorbed - once ready season with cumin, thyme, salt and pepper.

Plate the baked salmon with the spiced quinoa and garnish with a side salad.
