Scale
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

- Heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to pan, and when it’s hot, add vegetables to pan, stirring occasionally for about 7-8 minutes.
- While the veggies are cooking, broil the salmon on the second or third rack for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- When the quinoa is done cooking, add to veggie pan and toss together. Add soy sauce to pan and stir until the liquid has evaporated.
