Salmon is an excellent source of vitamin D and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Opt for wild Alaskan or closed-containment farmed salmon, which are the most sustainable choices.

Ingredients

Method

In saucepan, bring quinoa, broth, half of the salt and 1 cup water to boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover and simmer until quinoa is tender and no liquid remains, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in parsley.

Meanwhile, sprinkle salmon with pepper and remaining salt. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook salmon, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove salmon to plate. Set aside.

In same skillet, cook leek, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add spinach, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey and mustard; cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

Stir half of the spinach mixture into quinoa. Add salmon to remaining spinach mixture, stirring to coat; serve over quinoa mixture.
