Miso-glazed salmon and quinoa combined with fresh pineapple, pine nuts and salad greens to make a delicious, light but satisfying weeknight meal. I use red miso, which is typically made from soya beans fermented with barley or other grains, in the marinade for the salmon. Replace it with rice or soya based white miso instead if you need to go gluten free. You could use rice, kaniwa, or farro instead of quinoa.

- Combine miso paste, soya sauce, vinegar, coconut sugar, and olive oil in bowl. Use 1 tablespoon of the sauce to brush the salmon steak.
- Meanwhile well rinse quinoa and drain. Place them in a saucepan filled with 250 ml of water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
- Cook the salmon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking.
- Place quinoa, chopped pineapples, and scallions in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of miso sauce and gently toss to combine.
- Place salad greens on platters. Top with quinoa and salmon. Sprinkle the roasted pine nuts over. Serve with extra miso sauce.

What an interesting combo! I am sure the sweetness of the pineapple pairs awesomely with that miso sauce on the salmon!!
I love pineapple and I love salmon, but not a fan of quinoa. Of course I guess instead of quinoa, I can consider rice for this dish?
Pineapple sounds like such a great addition in this salad!
I love everything about this dish Angie. I bet the miso with a little coconut sugar is divine! We eat salmon often and I know I would love this. The pineapple and quinoa sounds wonderful.
Oh, gosh, there's not one thing I don't love about this recipe!! Quinoa, salmon, pineapple---sounds like one dreamy meal!!
Angie this sounds wonderful. I just purchased a bag of tri-colored quinoa yesterday. I use it often and love how I feel after eating it. Such a great dish. I haven’t made miso salmon but will definitely try it now. I’ve tried it on black bass before so I’m sure it will be fantastic on the salmon. Nice recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Great combo, Angie! Bet it's delicious. Love that pineapple with salmon!
I love all the ingredients in this dish! Thanks for sharing!

This sounds like a perfect weeknight dinner...similar to many we've had. Can't wait to try this!

angie,
I always have tri colored quinoa ( it's our favorite) in the cabinet but I seem to forget to make it. Thanks for the reminder and your meal looks amazing. I am new to miso but have been adding it to some soups after they are cooked.
This sounds lovely. My husband and I would both enjoy this dish.
