Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa (uncooked)

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil to create the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
