Grilled Salmon Over a Quinoa Salad

One thing I learned growing up is to be creative! My fridge and pantry is always full of différent things i love and there isn’t always time to plan what you are going to make.

The other day I wanted to pair a piece of salmon with something. I looked in my fridge and decided that a quinoa salad would be perfect! I had some pomegranates and thought that would add a nice touch along with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. YUM!
