Salmon with Mango Quinoa Salsa


Lucas and I made this after a long day of hiking and walking and enjoyed every bite!


Mango Quinoa Salsa (from Nueva Salsa cookbook from William Sonoma)

1 cup cooked quinoa*
2 ripe mangos, cut in 1/4" cubes
1 roasted red onion** (1/4" squares)
1 cup mango juice (I used a can of Kern's mango juice)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (white or red)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Add quinoa, mangos, red onion, mango juice and vinegar into a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Let cool to room temperature and add cilantro. Serve cold or room temp.

*Qunioa - Add 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Add 1 T olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

**Roast red onion - Place onion (with outer shell removed) in a shallow baking dish. Cover with olive oil and salt. Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.

Salmon
Heat oven to 350F. Place salmon in a baking dish (lined with foil). Pour a small amount of olive oil over the fish and season with garlic salt and lemon pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes (until fish is flaky).

Serve salmon over quinoa salsa and enjoy!! We certainly did!
