Instructions
- Quinoa: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Set aside, covered, to steam for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled.
- Tomato-Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato, mango, onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Asparagus: Clean and cut asparagus. Season lightly with salt and place in stovetop steamer with boiling water. Steam approximately 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender. (Note: you can also steam in a microwave-safe dish with approximately 1/4 cup water. Cover dish and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender.)
- Fish: Preheat the broiler. Lightly brush the fish with the oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a shallow broiler pan and broil for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily. (The thickness of the fish will determine the cooking time.)
- Transfer the fish to plates and serve with salsa, quinoa and asparagus.
