7. Chop some cilantro, green onion and slice or cube the avocados.

8. Place the salmon cubes in a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 7-10 minutes.

9. Assembling the dish: In a small individual bowl, place 1/2 a cup of the cooked quinoa, some avocado and baked salmon, top with a little cilantro, chopped green onion, slices of lime, and 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce that we kept aside. Repeat with the other 3 bowls and Enjoy.
