Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry and sprinkle the flesh with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the pan, skin-side up, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook until it's just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, vinegar and garlic in a medium bowl. Add quinoa, peppers, cilantro and pistachios; toss to combine. Serve the salmon over the salad.

We enjoyed this dish. the only change I made was using parsley instead of the cilantro -- both salad and fish were very good. Thanks for sharing!
