Air-fried wild Pacific halibut, seasoned with garlic and chili powder, is served over a quinoa salad with avocado, edamame, and cherry tomatoes in a lemon-maple dressing.

Ingredients

    Halibut:

    Quinoa Salad:

    • 1 cup tri-color quinoa (2 cups water)
    • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
    • ½ avocado, diced
    • ½ cup edamame
    • 1 cucumber, diced

    Dressing:

    • 1 lemon, juiced
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp maple syrup
    • salt & pepper

    Directions

    1. Add 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and spread on a tray or plate to cool before tossing with the salad.

    2. While the quinoa cooks, prep and cook the halibut. Start by preheating your air fryer (or oven) to 400°F.

    3. Add a bit of olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder to the halibut. Air fry for 10 minutes at 400°F (oven bake times will vary), until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

    4. Prepare the ingredients for the salad and toss with the quinoa after it is cooked and cooled.

    5. For the dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.

    6. Toss dressing with the quinoa and vegetables. Top with halibut.

    7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
