Quinoa is a great alternative to couscous or rice and makes a really healthy summer salad. It’s light and packed full of herbs and lemon goes perfectly with fish.

Great recipe!! I've done it with my sisters 🙂
BEN! you're not supposed to use the shiny part of the foil!
One finger is all it needs?! How would Ben even know? lol
Can you guys make garlic butter please!!!
Quick Question. Has Ben ever cooked something that you genuinely thought was terrible, burnt or undercooked and had to lie on any of your Videos?
fishy juices…..yay
+SORTED Food Try adding Dill, a lemon wedge and some star anise.. 🙂 Bakes beautifully…
Quinoa is delicious and a superfood in my opinion . Those who haven't tried it are missing out ! <3
Love Quinoa, it's texture is so different to anything else, makes a nice change to the usual rice/couscous/pasta, and very high in good quality protein…I've been eating it for around 10years now. Looking forward to giving this recipe a go…looks GOOOOOOD 🙂
That looks great!
Actually, the reason you need to rinse quinoa (unless the packet says pre-washed) is that the seed is coated with saponin — a soapy-tasting coating that the plant produces as a defense. Not poisonous, but it is bitter. In fact, you'll probably note a kind of sudsiness to the water if you rinse quinoa never rinsed before. And it's not a true cereal grain, as it doesn't come from a grass, but is rather a member of the goosefoot family. It is indigenous to the Andes Mountains in South America, and in fact grows best above 12,000 feet. Because it is a seed, and not a cereal grain, it actually has a full complement of amino acids — which means that it can offer better nutrition in places that previously didn't have enough protein.
Salad could do with some cubes of feta, yum!
would it taste even better if the quinoa was cooked in a chicken or beef stock?
2 1/2x liquid will leave you with a mushy nasty mess
I've made quinoa as a type of oatmeal substitute for breakfast! I cooked it in coconut milk and added just a little cinnamon, brown sugar, and dried cranberries and it was great (:
could you do the salmon also in fire, like when you do potatos in tin foil ? or is too hot ?
I cook my fish the same. If u add sliced lemons and shallots its amazing next to brown rice and steamed veg
I love you guys….
Wonder if you could do a show on good cookware.. especially knifes and other items.
Looks absolutely delicious. Barry, I mean. Yummy.
can you do this foil technique with other fish as well? and does it have to be fresh or is defrosted okay too?
That looks so so good!! 😀
i love your videos!! ^^ I'm so gonna try this out 🙂 Thank you for all the quick and nice tips for dinners :3
I do have a request tho!! 🙂 I am a university student.. and it is hard for me to have time to make dinner every single evning 🙁 Can you make something that is tasty, cheap, healthy and ofc easy ^^ ?? I would need a dish I can keep in the fridge for several days(2-3) and maybe something that I can turn into another dish 😀
Thx for your help!!
Ben!! you washed that quinoa all wrong!! it should be washed under cold running water in that sieve … else when you cook it will taste all bitter! :'(
If you buy the pre washed Quino, (we have it here in the states) you can toast it a bit before you use it. This gives the Quino a nuttier flavor.
We are making you recipe tonight!
Your faces look reddish and orangey. Is it because of a redhead or white balance….?
u have to sacrifice the salmon so the boys have their perfect tan
good idea.
i am always having that as lunch, but i do it greek salad style! love this.
when i feel indian, i add water with curry instead of vegetable stock. and then add chicken an tomates and cucumber or whatever is left in the fridge.
keep cooking!
xoxo
If you don't like salmon, would this be good with any white fish?
Wow, someone needs white balance.
Here in Ecuador Quinoa is realy cheap and common. Our Maid makes a seriously good Quinoa soup. It has Quinoa, Chicken, Potatos, Carrots. Is soooo good
this looks amazing, but i really hate black olives. any suggestions as to what i can use as a substitute?
FINALLY!!!!!!
I can't have salmon without dill.. I feel like it's blasphemy. lol Only thing I'd add.. because that looks amazing.
you guys should make cauliflower rice!
Health Police here! Wouldnt use tin foil as the aluminium gets into the food gets into your body!
I'm glad I found you guys! 😀 If it wasn't for Good Mythical Morning with Rhett and Link, I would have been oblivious at your amazing work and art in food! 😀 Can't wait to try these fine specimens out! :3
so you knew about the trend a few years ago… ?
What is wrong with the main camera guys? Other than that, great recipe as always :3
I friggin' love quinoa! I'm definitely going to have to try this one.
I'm defiantly going to make this but without the fish cause I'm a vegan! :3
I've always tried to cook quinoa but I can never do it right, so this video was really helpful! Thank you guys for being awesome! <3
What type of salmon are you using??
Can you do moré peruvian dishes ? Maybe papa a la huancaina carapulcra
Definitely trying this dish! Looks so yummy!
Ben really is the king of innuendos. 😥😧
