Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 2 cups cooked tri-color quinoa
  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tbsp chopped red onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
  2. Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze over it. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the remaining glaze, until cooked through and caramelized. Remove and slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large green bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced pineapple, edamame, cucumber, and radishes.
  5. Add the mashed avocado, chopped red onion, green onion, cilantro, and mint to the bowl. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
  6. Divide the quinoa mixture evenly among four serving bowls.
  7. Top each bowl with the sliced glazed salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
