Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add quinoa and cook over medium-high heat for 12 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat, fluff with fork and chill until cold.
- Once chilled, add oil, lemon juice, onions, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives and feta; toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- For the salmon, prepare grill for medium-high heat. Rub garlic oil over salmon to coat; season with salt and pepper. Once grill is hot, brush rack with additional olive oil and immediately place salmon on grill.
- Grill, undisturbed, 4 minutes. Flip and cook until salmon is cooked through (145 degrees).
- To serve, divide spring mix among four plates. Place 1 cup of chilled quinoa salad on greens; place salmon on top. Serve each salad with a lemon wedge, if desired.
