While quinoa cooks, steam the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down first, for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Add the lemon juice and zest to the skillet, basting the salmon with the lemon butter sauce. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the steamed vegetables. Serve the salmon on top of the quinoa and vegetable mixture, spooning any remaining lemon butter sauce over the top. Get recipes made for you on the Simmer app. Download for iOS Download for Android
