You don’t eat enough fish because you don’t know how to make it taste good. The solution is threefold: oil, garlic, and lemon. With just these ingredients, you can make any fish dish flavorful — and ab-friendly. Exhibit A, this salmon recipe.

HOW IT WORKS: Oil adds moisture to fish, lemon cuts its fishy flavor, and garlic improves its aroma.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 oz Atlantic salmon

Directions

  1. Rinse quinoa under faucet, then transfer to a pot. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 10–12 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon, basil, salt, and pepper. Add tomatoes and mix.
  3. Place salmon on a sheet of tinfoil. Fold up edges of foil but don’t cover fish completely. Pour tomato mixture on top of salmon.
