Ingredients

1 cup raw quinoa
2 portions grams boneless and skinless salmon fillets (1.1 pounds)

Instructions

Wash and rinse the quinoa. Place it in a cooking pan with a lid and cover the grains with 1¾ cup of water.
Cook the quinoa at medium heat until it reaches boiling point. Stir it, lower the heat, and let it simmer with the lid on. Quinoa takes approximately 10-12 minutes to cook and absorb all the liquid. The grains swell up to 2-3 times as much.
Once the quinoa is cooked, season it with salt according to your taste. Fork it to stir and mix. Set it aside.
Cut the salmon into 1-inch chunks and place them in a bowl.
Add the teriyaki sauce to the salmon. Stir well and make sure all the fish pieces are covered with the sauce.
Heat a teaspoon of oil on a frying pan. Cook the salmon until they are thoroughly cooked.
Divide the quinoa between 2 serving bowls.
Arrange the avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, and cooked salmon on top of quinoa. Sprinkle the sesame seeds, squeeze the lemon juice over, and serve.

Notes

You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce or make your own teriyaki sauce.
If you like, cook the salmon bites in the air fryer or oven at 392°F/ 200°C for 10-15 minutes.
Ensure you don’t overcook the fish because it can go hard. You want it to be succulent and juicy.
Add extra teriyaki sauce over your quinoa bowl if you like.
