Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Mango

  • 1 cup fresh mango cubed (~1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Quinoa

  • 1 cup red quinoa rinsed

Broccolini

  • 1/2 lb broccolini
  • 1 purple onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • To marinate the salmon: whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, and red pepper flakes until combined.  Marinate salmon fillets for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper.
  • Drizzle mango with olive oil and coat with brown sugar and salt.  Spread evenly onto half of the first prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes or until edges start browning.
  • Place marinated salmon fillets onto the other half of the first baking sheet for the final 15 minutes of roasting or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.  Then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until quinoa is tender and all the water has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Toss broccolini and purple onion with olive oil, garlic, and black pepper and spread evenly onto the second baking sheet.  Roast for 15-20 minutes or until broccolini can be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Once everything is cooked, layer individual bowls or plates with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and salmon, top with roasted mango and serve.

Notes

  • Regular broccoli can be used instead of broccolini, all cooking instructions should be the same.
  • White or other colors of quinoa can be used instead of red.  I chose red for this particular recipe because it maintains its texture better.
  • Farro, brown rice, or another whole grain can be used instead of quinoa, if desired.
