Seared Salmon and Quinoa

It's hard to go wrong with a dish that revolves around Salmon! Salmon appears regularly in nutrient-rich dishes because it's a fantastic source of healthy fats (including the ever sought after omega 3s), protein, and B Vitamins. We have brought this one to the next level by including a variety of plant-based superfoods (including nuts, seeds and grains) and our very own Vegetable Broth, which adds flavour and a hit of B vitamins, calcium and zinc.
