Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 4-6 ounces each)
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Stir in the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Prepare salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Drizzle with olive oil and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Steam broccoli: While the salmon is baking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Serve: Divide the cooked quinoa, baked salmon, and steamed broccoli among four plates. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
