Brothy Quinoa with Salmon and Broccoli

Here are the ingredients you need for this recipe

• 100g organic quinoa soup mix
• 1/2 litre water
• 1 fresh salmon steak
• 1 handful broccoli florets
• 1 pinch pink Himalayan salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Ground cayenne pepper

Method

1. 1Clean the salmon by removing the skin and central bone.
2. 2We'll use those trimmings to make a quick fish stock.
3. 3Place a small pot of water over medium heat, add the salmon trimmings, and let them simmer to infuse the water with flavour.
4. 4Cut the rest of the salmon into bite-sized pieces, add them to a frying pan, and sear briefly on both sides.
5. 5Stir the quinoa soup mix directly into the pan.
6. 6Sauté for a minute or two so it toasts lightly.
7. 7Pour the simmering salmon broth through a fine strainer to catch any bones, adding the liquid straight into the frying pan.
8. 8Turn up the heat and season to taste with pink Himalayan salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cayenne.
9. 9As soon as it comes to a boil, turn down the heat.
10. 10Let it cook gently for 15 minutes.
11. 11If the liquid reduces too quickly, add another glass of water, continuing to top it up as needed while it cooks.
12. 12After 15 minutes, taste the broth and adjust the salt if needed.
13. 13Stir in the broccoli florets.
14. 14Cook for another 5 minutes.
15. 15All done! Our brothy quinoa with salmon and broccoli is ready to serve.

Extras

1. 1If you don't have a prepared quinoa soup mix, regular quinoa works fine too—just consider sautéing a bit of leek and carrot first for extra flavour.
2. 2You can also use store-bought fish broth instead of simmering the salmon trimmings in water.
