1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups cherry tomatoes, washed

For the salmon:
4 salmon filets
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For the topping:
4 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise
1 tablespoon crunchy chili oil

Instructions

1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium pot, combine 1 ½ cups rinsed quinoa with 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

2. Prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place 2 cups washed cherry tomatoes and 1 sliced squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast for 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the salmon: Remove pan from oven and place 4 salmon filets on a the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon onion powder. Return to oven to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

4. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons avocado mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon crunchy chili oil. Mix until combined.

5. Serve: In each bowl, add a scoop of quinoa and top with the roasted vegetables and salmon. Top with spicy mayo and enjoy!

   
   

Pro Tip: Be sure to rinse the quinoa well in a small colander prior to cooking to improve the taste.

For vegetarian/vegan dietary restrictions: Instead of the salmon, consider preparing tempeh marinated in coconut aminos prior to baking.
