"This meal combines grilled salmon fillets with a golden crust with a Mediterranean salad rich in quinoa and chickpeas. A balanced dish, full of clean proteins and good fats."
- Al dente cooking of quinoa: cooking in a one-to-two ratio in a covered pot results in loose and light grains. - Grilled salmon to the point: searing for 4 to 5 minutes in a hot skillet keeps the interior moist and juicy. - Textured grain salad: joining soft chickpeas to chopped cucumber provides crunchy contrasts in chewing.
Rinse the quinoa in cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the grains with a fork. Set aside to cool.
While the quinoa cooks, chop the cucumber, tomato, red onion, and olives. Wash and chop the fresh parsley. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas and chopped vegetables.
Add the already cold quinoa to the bowl with the vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of one Sicilian lemon. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to incorporate all flavors. If using, add the crumbled feta cheese.
Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and the juice of half a Sicilian lemon. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if any) for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches the desired doneness.
Divide the Mediterranean salad between two plates. Place a grilled salmon fillet over each portion of salad. If desired, finish with a sprig of fresh dill. Serve immediately and enjoy a vibrant and healthy meal.

- Crispy chickpeas: roast the chickpeas in the oven at 200 °C with paprika for 20 minutes before mixing into the salad. - Mint touch: add chopped fresh mint leaves along with the parsley to intensify the citrus freshness. - Avocado version: add small cubes of ripe avocado to the Mediterranean salad before drizzling the olive oil.
- Salmon fillet: can be substituted with salmon trout fillets, fresh sea bass, or grilled chicken breast in strips. - Raw quinoa: use cooked wheat berries, pearl barley, or black rice while keeping the rest of the ingredients. - Queijo feta: substitute with crumbled cured minas cheese or fresh ricotta well seasoned with olive oil and salt.
Store the grain salad and salmon fillets in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat the salmon over low heat in a closed skillet and serve the salad at a cool temperature.
It is not recommended to freeze this dish assembled. The cucumber and tomato lose cellular structure and release water, while the salmon meat loses its soft texture, becoming dry and dehydrated.
Serve accompanied by warm whole wheat pita bread on the griddle, classic chickpea hummus with olive oil and paprika, or fresh wild arugula leaves seasoned with fleur de sel.
Press the center of the steak with the tip of a fork; the pink slices should yield easily, displaying a moist and shiny interior.
There is no need to peel the kernels; wash well under running water and drain to remove residue from the preserve before using.
Yes, grease the grill beforehand and bake on a medium brazier for 4 minutes on each side, taking care not to break the fillets.
Season salmon moments before placing into skillet to prevent lemon acidity from denaturing fillet proteins before grilling.
