Great effort Dacia! Youve successfully hit your weekly target of including lean protein in your lunch for 4 days. Your choice of salmon with kale and quinoa is a fantastic combination of lean protein and fiber-rich foods. The hibiscus tea is a nice touch too.

Instructions

  • 1.

    1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • 2.

    2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • 3.

    3. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

  • 4.

    4. While the salmon is baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

  • 5.

    5. In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

  • 6.

    6. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and mix in the sautéed kale.

  • 7.

    7. Serve the quinoa and kale mixture in bowls, topped with the baked salmon and optional cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1.

    4 fillets of salmon (about 4 oz each)

  • 2.

    2 cups of kale, chopped

    1 cup of quinoa, rinsed
