Ingredients

    • 1 cup quinoa
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 pound boneless, skinless tilapia fillets, divided into 8 pieces
    • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 cup English cucumber (6 ounces), diced small
    • 1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
    • 1/3 cup feta (1 1/2 ounces), crumbled
    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring quinoa, 2 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil over high. Reduce to a medium simmer and cook until water evaporates, about 15 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a medium bowl and let cool 5 minutes.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with paprika. Cook fillets until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Stir cucumber, dill, feta, 1 teaspoon oil, and lemon juice into quinoa. Season with salt and pepper. Divide quinoa among four plates and top with fish.
