Intermittent Fasting Salmon & Quinoa Power Plate

This plate is built to be the main event of the day — salmon, quinoa, and vegetables arranged into something substantial enough to actually satisfy after a stretch of not eating.

Pairing salmon's protein and healthy fat with the protein and fiber already in quinoa is what makes this plate feel like a complete meal, which is often exactly what people look for when breaking a fast rather than easing in with something light. Steamed broccoli and halved cherry tomatoes round the plate out with some color and freshness.

Sear or bake the salmon just until it flakes easily — overcooking it dries the fillets out fast, so keep an eye on the clock.
