Citrus Steamed Trout With Quinoa Pilaf

"A flavorful melody that's super quick and easy (as long as you can find Rainbow trout[or whatever fish you like] and the quinoa). I used Mrs. Dash to add some kick. I you can't find it, you can add some chilli powder and cayenne pepper. If you don't like spicy, skip the Mrs. Dash, maybe add some thyme, marjoram and rosemary for a twist provençale."

  1. I had fish and tri color quinoa to use, so tried this. The flavor was great- never thought to but beef and lemon together. But I couldn't make a "packet" with how much quinoa and boiled liquid there was. It was just too much stuff, too hot to handle. I had to just fold everything in and hope for the best, and I still ended up with a lot of liquid in the end. A tight cover on a casserole dish might have worked better for me. Also, the photo is not fair. LOL You must have sat there and separated everything out. My final look was a mountain of veggie infused quinoa, and maybe a fish under there if you can find it. :)
