Ingredients
- 2 fillets salmon fillets
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 0.33 cup coconut cream
- 0.25 cup dill
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp coarsely ground pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp asafoetida powder
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; spread on a baking sheet. Place salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp Garlic-Infused Oil, sprinkle with remaining salt, pepper, and paprika, and top with lemon slices.
- 2Roast zucchini for 15-20 minutes until tender. Add salmon to the oven for the last 12-15 minutes of roasting, or until cooked through.
- 3While salmon and zucchini cook, prepare quinoa: Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in butter.
- 4For the dill cream, whisk together coconut cream, lemon juice (from remaining half lemon), fresh dill, fresh chives, and asafoetida powder in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 5Serve baked salmon and roasted zucchini alongside quinoa, topped generously with the dill cream and garnished with fresh parsley.
