Ingredients:
For
the Salmon and marinade:
1 cup
teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon
freshly grated ginger
2-4 cloves of
garlic, minced
3 tablespoons
dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons
honey
¼ cup olive
oil
1 pound
salmon
For
Quinoa Stir-fry:
¾ cup quinoa,
rinsed
½ teaspoon
garlic salt
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 red bell
pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell
pepper, thinly sliced
2 clove
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
fresh grated ginger
4 cloves
garlic, minced
1½ cups sugar
snap peas or snow peas
Extras:
1 teaspoon salt,
to taste
1 teaspoon
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon extra
soy or teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon
sesame seeds
¼ cup fresh
cilantro, chopped
Preparation:
In a large
bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients: teriyaki sauce, olive oil,
garlic, ginger,
brown sugar, and honey.
Place salmon
in large plastic bag and add marinade.
Place in
refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat oven
to 400°F.
Spray baking
pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Remove salmon
from bag and place skin side down.
Bake for
15-20 minutes or until salmon easily flakes with fork. I found that 18 minutes
was
absolutely perfect.
While salmon
is cooking, prepare quinoa stir-fry.
Bring 1½ cups
of water with garlic salt to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Reduce heat
to low, add quinoa and cover; simmering until all liquid is absorbed.
Remove from
heat and let stand another 5-10 minutes.
Fluff the
quinoa with a fork and set aside.
While quinoa
is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet over medium-high
heat.
Add minced garlic,
ginger, and sliced bell peppers; cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add sugar
snap peas and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add quinoa to
vegetables, and then add salt and pepper to taste and red pepper.
Spoon quinoa
stir-fry evenly into 4 bowls or plates.
Immediately
place salmon on top.
Sprinkle over
with sesame seeds and cilantro.
Glaze with
extra teriyaki sauce.
Notes:
Salmon is
very sensitive and can dry out easily if overcooked, so make sure you watch
your fish.
For every inch of thickness of the salmon,
generally it takes about 10 minutes to cook. Usually salmon fillets are about 1½
inches thick.
Preparing
quinoa ahead of time makes this dish even easier; simply reheat quinoa and add
to stir fried veggies.
Serve 4.
