Instructions

Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and place it in a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat, cover, and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Preheat the grill to medium-high temperature.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper after brushing them with olive oil.
Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil while the salmon is cooking.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the green beans are crisp-tender.
To halt the cooking process, drain and rinse with cold water.
Combine the lentils and 1 1/2 cups of water in a separate small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but firm.
Remove any excess water.
To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Separate the quinoa, green beans, and lentils onto two plates.
Drizzle the dressing over each plate and top with a grilled salmon fillet.
Serve right away and enjoy.
