Ingredients

• 300 g rye maccheroni
• 200 g quinoa
• 300 g fresh salmon fillet
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• Lemon, juice and zest
• 4 tbsp lemon olive oil by Nicolas Vahé
• 1 liter vegetable or fish stock
• 50 g Parmesan cheese
• Pepper and salt (Everyday Mix by Nicolas Vahé)
• Fresh dill for garnish

Preparation

1. Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Set aside.
2. Prepare the maccheroni al dente in plenty of salted water. Drain and toss with 2 tbsp lemon olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Sauté the shallot and garlic in a large pan with the remaining olive oil until translucent.
4. Cut the salmon into pieces and briefly add to the pan, cooking minimally so the salmon stays juicy.
5. Add lemon zest and juice, along with the quinoa and pasta. Mix gently and season with Nicolas Vahé’s Everyday Mix and, if needed, a little extra lemon juice.
6. Transfer everything to an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and briefly gratinate under the grill until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
7. Garnish generously with fresh dill and serve immediately.
