Method

  1. Rinse quinoa2 under cold water and simmer over medium heat until the liquid is absorbed and fluffy, about 15 minutes; when the quinoa is fluffy, remove from heat and cover for 2 minutes.

  2. Boil broccoli3 florets in salted boiling water for 4 minutes until bright green; drain in a colander and let the excess water drain.

  3. Slice the avocado4: halve, remove the pit, peel, and cut into slices.

  4. Season the salmon1 with salt and pepper; heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil; sear the salmon for 3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the inside reaches medium doneness.

  5. Arrange the quinoa2 as the base in a bowl, add the broccoli3 and gently toss to distribute evenly.

  6. Drizzle with lemon6 juice, add a little lemon zest to taste and pour in the oil; season with salt to taste and toss gently.

  7. Top with avocado4 slices, sprinkle sesame, and serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works
Cover quinoa after cooking to trap steam and finish cooking evenly without drying out. Overcooking makes it hard and gritty.
Substitutions
Use frozen broccoli (thaw first) or swap cucumber for shredded carrot (60g) if you prefer crunch. Skip sesame if unavailable.
Common mistakes
Overcooked salmon will flake apart easily and look opaque inside; check with a fork at 3 minutes per side.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or store for 2 days in the fridge; reheat quinoa and broccoli only (microwave 1 minute), add avocado and dressing after.
Serve with
Pair with a side of steamed rice or a simple green salad for a balanced dinner.
