Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa in a sieve under cold running water
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 18-20 min or until all the water has absorbed and the quinoa is tender

Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil over a medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the salmon fillets and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook for 6-7 min, turning once halfway, or until cooked through.

Whilst the salmon is cooking, cut orange in half.

Combine the juice of the orange halves with the miso paste, rice vinegar, 1 tbsp vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt in a small bowl – this is your orange-miso dressing
