Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Servings 4 meals

Ingredients

• 1.25 pounds salmon filtes
• 1/2 head green cauliflower can use any cauliflower
• 7 oz white quinoa can use any color quinoa
• 4 medium scallios
• 1 Lemon
• 3-4 ounces blueberries
• 4 large strawberries
• 3 oz mango chunks
• Salt as desired

Instructions

• Cut salmon fillet into 4 pieces, wash with cold water, season with salt. In a non-stick grill pan over medium heat cook salmon fillets abut 5 minutes each sides. ( get rid of the skin after cooking. It is too fatty! ) Serve 125 g for each container.
• Bring water to a boil in a pot and boil as much as quinoa you like. ( I always cook extra and put the remaining quinoa in the freezer to use later in salads, omelette, oatmeal etc.. ) Drain, measure with 1/2 cup for each container. Chop one scallion for each container and mix fruits evenly.
• Wash green cauliflower, cut into large pieces. Place a strainer over a pot filled with 1 inch water (shallow enough that the water doesn’t touch the strainer). Place chopped cauliflower florets in the strainer and cover with a lid. Steam as tender as you like.
• Serve everything in containers with 1/4 lemon. Before you eat, microwave only salmon and cauliflower (if you like) in another plate. Squeeze lemon on all ingredients 🙂
