Ingredients

Olive oil spray
3/4 cup quinoa
1 cup water, broth (chicken or vegetable), white wine, or any mixture
1/2 to 3/4 pound fish steaks (halibut, salmon, tuna, etc.)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 head cauliflower, cut into medium florets (about 2 cups)
1 medium zucchini, halved horizontally and cut into half moons
Sea salt
6 to 8 cremini or other mushrooms, sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

    Step 3

    Pour in the quinoa and liquid. Stir to coat the grains and make an even layer. Add the fish.

    Step 4

    In a small bowl, mix the peanut oil, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, cilantro, and ginger. Drizzle half of this mixture over the fish. Scatter the cauliflower and zucchini over the fish. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle on the rest of the peanut oil mixture. Drop in the mushrooms.

    Step 5

    Cover and bake for about 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
