Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Boil a kettle. Peel and dice the squash into 2cm cubes, discarding the seeds. Roughly chop the onion. Place on a lined baking tray lined and toss with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden.
- Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain. Return to the saucepan and set aside.
- Thinly slice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Season the salmon with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Cook the salmon, skin-side down, for 5 mins, then flip and cook for a further 4-5 mins, until cooked through. Add the chilli (to taste) in the final 1-2 mins of cooking. Remove from the heat and transfer the salmon to a plate.
- Roughly chop the parsley. Add the chimichurri, yoghurt and 1-2 tbsp water to the pan. Stir in half the parsley and set aside.
- Add the vinegar, roasted veg, spinach and remaining parsley to the cooked quinoa. Mix to combine.
- Serve the roasted veg quinoa with the salmon. Dollop over the chimichurri sauce.
