Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon (fresh or frozen, skinless fillets)
- 1 cup quinoa (white or red)
- 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup peas
- Fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa: Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine it with water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Prepare the salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly oil it. Place salmon skin-side down, season, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Gently flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until flaky.
- Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add chopped carrots and peas. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until tender but still vibrant.
- Combine everything: In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, sautéed veggies, and flaked salmon. Toss lightly.
- Serve up: Allow to cool slightly before serving to your dog.
