Tips for Success

  • Use fresh salmon for the best flavor, but frozen fillets work well too—just thaw before marinating.
  • Garlic-infused olive oil is a great way to get that Mediterranean taste without triggering IBS symptoms.
  • Make it a meal prep favorite by storing portions in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • Customize your quinoa by adding chopped cucumber or a handful of spinach before serving.
