Orange-Sesame Salmon with Quinoa & Broccolini

Perfect in every way. My 7 year old - who does not eat salmon, broccoli, or quinoa - helped make this dish start to to finish and literally ate everything off his plate. He now loves salmon. The toasted sesame oil really is beautiful in this dish - along with the tamari in the finish sauce.

I had made a large amount of quinoa using only water, so for this recipe I added orange zest with the chives to approximate the taste. Also steamed rather than roasted the broccoli (a whole cup per person rather than a 1/2cup) and served with two tsp. of soy sauce. Then I broiled the salmon rather than baking. Whole dish was yummy!

This recipe is EXCELLENT. Due to food allergies from one of my guests I changed the orange juice to cranberry juice, it may seem a weird substitute to the end results are wonderful. If you need a recipe to impress your friends, guests, anyone, that is has minimal effort (seriously the hardest part was making the corn starch well combined in the sauce) then this is the recipe for you.
