Grilled Pesto Salmon With Sautéed Vegetables
- 2-4 salmon fillets or steaks
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp fresh pesto (Golda's is a brand I like since they use Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- 1 cup red quinoa
- 2-3 carrots
- Handful snap peas in pod
- 1 Bell pepper
- 1 Onion
- 1 lemon (optional)
- Preheat over to 385 degrees.
- Cook quinoa as package instructs (try cooking with fresh chicken or vegetable broth for a bit more flavour).
- Chop veggies as you like (I prefer cutting them about the length and width of a finger)
- Stir fry the veggies in a pan with some coconut oil. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice for a splash of flavour if you like.
- Heat coconut oil in a stainless steel, over-safe fry pan on med-high.
- Pan fry the salmon on one side for about 3-5 min (until cooked about half way through).
- Flip the salmon and fry for about 30 second or a minute.
- Place the entire fry pan in the oven and cook fish for another 3-5 min.
- Once cooked, spread some pesto over the salmon just before serving.
