- Quinoa - This makes enough for Tuesday’s dinner. Combine quinoa with 2x the amount of water (or stock if you prefer) in a saucepan. Add in some salt. Bring to a boil covered. Lower heat, keep covered, and cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Fish - Rinse and pat dry.
- For fish | Garlic / Lemon - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Make dressing - If prepping right before cooking, get fish prepped and in the oven first before returning to this and next prep step. Whisk together red wine vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, and oregano with cooking oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- For salad | Carrots / Olives - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
