Rice/Quinoa: I used 2 bags of Aldi’s Organic Rice/Quinoa – prepare according to package directions
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- For the veggies, add all ingredients to a large bowl. Toss together until covered with oil and seasonings. Pour veggies onto a baking sheet (may need 2 depending on volume). Bake in oven about 12-15 minutes until start to soften but still have a bit of crunch. Remove from oven and set aside.
- For the salmon, lay out salmon fillets and sprinkle salt, garlic powder, basil and pepper on both sides.
- Spread out flour on large plate. Roll each salmon fillet into flour – covering all sides. Shake off extra flour.
- Drizzle olive oil in large skillet. Warm up pan until get a sizzle (water drop test does the trick).
- Place all fillets into pan. Let cook 5-7 minutes on the first side, then flip over.
- Immediately after flipping, squeeze the fresh lemon onto each fillet. Cover the pan with lid and let cook another 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Prepare rice/quinoa according to package directions.
- Portion out your grains, vegetables, and salmon into a bowl. Enjoy!
