Many of us have extra time at home and a full house. That means move people to feed. This fun, beautiful recipe takes about 40-60 minutes to prepare, with the quinoa being the most intensive.
Quinoa needs oil, broth or bullion, white wine or white wine vinegar and minced garlic. Saute the quinoa on high with the garlic until they are shiny and hot. add one cup of broth and a quarter cup of wine to get steam. Cover and turn it down to simmer, stirring occasionally while you get the other items going. In about 20 minutes, add another cup of water until it evaporates.
Slice Poblano peppers (These have been gorgeous and abundant at my market; add whatever peppers you have), fresh garlic and dried basil. Add to a hot pan with a little oil for about 10 minutes or desired tenderness. Add salted and peppered fish fillet (Salmon or trout) directly to the same hot pan and cover for 3 minutes on each side. Add an handful of spinach to the second side for texture and color.
Presentation for this can be very beautiful. Put a generous bed of spinach in a platter. Top with warm quinoa. Add diced or halved cherry tomatoes and cubed feta cheese mixed with olive oil and olives if you like. Put the mixture on top of the quinoa. Lastly, Place the hot salmon and peppers on the pile. Serve hot and fresh!
