Total time: 20-25 minutes

Servings: 8
8 wild salmon fillets (3 ounces each)
sea salt, to taste
fresh pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup shitake mushroom caps, sliced
1 package Seeds of Change Quinoa,
Brown & Red Rice with Flaxseeds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Salsa Verde (optional):
1 bunch scallions
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
1/2 cup packed mint leaves
1/2 cup packed basil leaves
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 400 F.
In oven-proof pan, season salmon with salt and pepper,
and drizzle each fillet with olive oil. Bake 12-15 minutes,
until cooked through.
In blender or food processor, combine all Salsa Verde
ingredients and pulse until fully incorporated but still rustic
and chunky. Set aside.
In medium saute pan over medium-high heat, heat
remaining olive oil. Add mushrooms and asparagus and
saute vigorously 3-5 minutes. Add grains and slivered
almonds, and continue to saute until heated through, about
5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
Divide grains among eight plates, place a piece of
salmon on each plate then finish with dollop of Salsa
Verde, if desired, and serve.
Substitution: Shitake mushroom caps may be substituted
with button mushrooms or other wild mushrooms.
