In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or low FODMAP vegetable broth to a boil.

Add quinoa, cover, reduce heat, and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
-
Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and mix in olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Salmon

-
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic-infused olive oil.
-
Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush the marinade over each piece.
-
Top with chopped olives and diced tomatoes (if using).
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Assemble and Serve

Divide the quinoa among four plates.

Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges for extra flavor.
