Step By Step

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (200°C).

Prepare the Salmon:

In a bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper to make the herb butter mixture.

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the butter is melted and bubbling.

Roast the Seasonal Vegetables:

Toss the mixed seasonal vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Spread them on a separate baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Cook the Quinoa:

Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil.

Add a pinch of salt and the rinsed quinoa.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the lemon zest and chopped basil or mint.

Assemble the Meal Prep Containers:

Divide the lemon basil quinoa, roasted seasonal vegetables, and lemon herb butter salmon fillets among your meal prep containers.

Store and Enjoy:
