Ingredients: Duration of Cooking: Approx. 45 Minutes

For the Salmon:

• Fresh Salmon

• Salt

• Olive Oil Cooking Spray

• Fresh Thyme

For the Cauliflower:

• 1 Head of Cauliflower

• 50 g of Butter

• 50 g of Flour

• 400 ml of Milk (hot)

• 1 Chicken Stock Cube

• 1 Litre of Water (for the cauliflower)

• Salt & Pepper

• Fresh Parsley

• 1 tsp of Garlic Granulates

• 50 g of Cheddar/Smoked Cheese

• 30 g of Cheddar Cheese (for the top)

• 3 tbs of Breadcrumbs (for the top)

For the Quinoa:

• 120 g of Quinoa

• 360 ml of Hot Water

• Pinch of Salt

Directions:

Step 1: Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower, slice off the stem and prepare the florets.

Step 2: Add the prepared florets to a large saucepan, add 1 chicken stock cube and pour hot water over it and cook it until a fork easily goes through them.

Step 3: Prepare the salmon by placing it on a pre olive oil sprayed thin foil. Add some salt, thyme and a slice of lemon.

Step 4: Wrap up the salmon by pinching together the thin foil edges on both sides then fold the top section down. (Make sure it's well wrapped and the edges pointing upwards as the salmon will release juice that can leak out.)

Step 5: Place it into a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Step 6: Heat up 400 ml of milk.

Step 7: Add 50 g of butter to a pan, let it melt on a low heat. Once the butter is melted add 50 g of flour to it. When the thick paste is created pour the hot milk to the mix gradually and make sure to whisk continuously to avoid any lumps.

Step 8: Season the roux sauce by adding salt, pepper chopped parsley and garlic granulates.

Step 9: Grate 50 g of cheddar cheese and add it to the mix, blend everything well together and set aside.

Step 10: Drain the florets, then add them to your tray, then add the cheesy roux mixture.

Step 11: Use the other 30 g of grated cheddar cheese to add to the top now along with 3 tbs of breadcrumbs to make it more crispy.

Step 12: Place it into a preheated oven at 180 degrees until the top turns nice and golden brown.

Step 13: Take a small saucepan and add 120 g of quinoa along with 360 ml of hot water and a pinch of salt. Cook it on a medium heat for about 10-13 minutes until the grains increase their size and softens.

Enjoy!
