We love the protein-packed quinoa paired with the antioxidant-rich Oshēn Salmon. The bright carrots and and crunchy snow peas give this dish a vibrant texture.
It’s simple and quick to prepare, and even more satisfying to enjoy. Cook this up any night of the week and feel good about what you're eating. The best part? You’ll likely have most of the ingredients already in your kitchen.

Icebox Cafe Grilled Salmon With Pad Thai-Style Vegetable Quinoa
Step 1
Start by boiling water, and then add salt. Add quinoa and cook until water is absorbed (about 20 minutes). Fluff and set aside.
Step 2
While the quinoa is cooking, evenly coat two pieces of salmon with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes (or until fish is flaky).
Step 3
While the Quinoa is cooking, julienne your vegetables.
Step 4
In a sauté pan, heat sesame oil on high and add carrots and onions. Cook for a minute, and then add snow peas, cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for about two minutes.
Step 5
Make an open area in the middle of the pan so that your veggies form a ring around the edge. Add two eggs and scramble them in the center of the pan. Once they've started to scramble mix them in with the vegetables.
Step 6
Now, add the cooked quinoa and 1/4 cup of Pad Thai sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle in toasted peanuts and give it a stir.

Step 8
Top with a filet of grilled salmon.
