Quinoa 1/6 cup
Garlic pepper seasoning 1/4 tspn
Olive oil

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 170 deg Celsius.

3. Scale and wash salmon slabs, place it in a bakeware or on an aluminium foil. Cut broccoli into smaller florets (even the stalk is edible), wash and spread it out around the salmon. Sprinkle the herbs, then the quinoa. Top it up with a drizzle of oil.

4. Pop it into the oven, bake at 170 degree Celsius for about 25-30 minutes.

About the participant

I'm Paige, a working mum (now at home) to a cheeky 10 months young baby girl. Having to juggle working at home and taking care of my baby girl, baking is the most efficient way to making healthy home-cooked meals for our family of three. I chose to share this recipe because it is low in carbs and sodium, high in protein, fibre and iron. It is so easy to play around with the ingredients and flavours. We would offer the same food to our girl who has started solids.
