The dish will be featured at this year’s new Patagonia Booth.It’s an especially interesting dish, because the Salmon is sustainably farm-raised. In fact, it’s the first and only ocean-raised farm fish to receive the “Good Alternative” buy ranking from the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Watch Group.Salmon Quinoa Salad with Chimi-Churri at the NEW Patagonia Marketplace BoothAnd the Quinoa Salad is absolutely delicious, and among our favorite dishes that we tried!And now you and I can make it at home with this handy recipe.Grilled Verlasso Salmon with Quinoa Salad and Arugula Chimichurri2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival’s Patagonia Marketplace BoothServes 6Ingredients:Salmon:1 teaspoon garlic salt1/4 cup lemon juice1/4 cup olive oil6 (5- to 6-ounce) Verlasso salmon fillets, skin removedChimichurri Sauce:1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, including stems, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)2 cups coarsely chopped fresh arugula1/2 cup olive oil1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves3 tablespoons lime juice1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes1 teaspoon minced garlic1 tablespoon red wine vinegarCoarse salt, freshly ground pepper, to tasteQuinoa Salad Dressing1/2 cup olive oil1/4 cup lime juice1 teaspoon minced garlic1 teaspoon white wine vinegar1/4 teaspoon cuminCoarse salt, freshly ground pepper, to tasteQuinoa Salad:3/4 cup uncooked quinoa, cooked per instructions (makes approximately 3 cups cooked), cooled1/2 red pepper, diced1/2 green pepper, diced1/2 red onion, diced1 small tomato, diced1/4 cup corn kernels1/4 cup chopped cilantroCoarse salt, freshly ground pepper, to tasteInstructions:For Salmon:1.
