Step 1

Rinse the quinoa in a sieve under cold running water Add the quinoa to a pot with a lid with 180ml cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 18-20 min or until all the water has absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper.
