Ingredients

  • 1.25 pounds salmon filets
  • ½ head green cauliflower or white or purple
  • 2 cups white quinoa uncooked, or any kind of quinoa
  • 4 medium scallions sliced
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 4 large strawberries
  • ⅓ cup mango chunks
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the salmon in cold water and pat dry. Cut into 4 pieces and season with salt and pepper. In a non-stick grill pan over medium heat cook salmon fillets for about 5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, set aside.
  • Cook the quinoa according to package directions in boiling water until the quinoa is fluffy and the water has been absorbed. Add ½ cup to each meal prep container. Divide the scallions and fruits evenly among the containers.
  • Cut the cauliflower into large florets. Place the cauliflower in a steamer insert into a pot with a few inches of water. Cover with a lid. Steam for 4 to 5 minutes until tender.
  • Transfer to the prepped containers along with lemon segments. If desired, reheat the salmon and cauliflower (if you like) separately in the microwave. Squeeze lemon on all ingredients.
