Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (4.4 oz. /125g each)
3.5 oz. (100g) quinoa, cooked
1 zucchini
1⁄2 tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
2.5 oz. (70g) sundried tomatoes, rinsed, chopped
Salmon marinade:
2 tbsp. tamari
1⁄2 tbsp. olive oil
1⁄2 tsp. sweet paprika
1⁄2 tsp. hot paprika
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. honey
1 tbsp. black sesame seeds

Instructions
1. Mix together the ingredients of the marinade and cover
the salmon to marinate for about 1 hour.
2. While the salmon is marinating, cook the quinoa and
spiralize the zucchini.
3. Heat the oil in the pan, add the crushed garlic and fry
for 1-2 minutes. Add in the zoodles and stir
occasionally until it softens (about 3-4 minutes).
Towards the end add the chopped tomatoes, and
season with salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Heat the oven to 480°F (250°C) and place the salmon
on a baking tray or casserole dish. Bake for about 7
minutes.
5. Remove the salmon from the oven to rest for a
moment. In the meantime, pour in the salmon juices
into the quinoa, and mix well.
6. Divide the quinoa and zoodles between two plates,
then place the salmon on top. Sprinkle with chili flakes
to serve.
