Instructions

In a medium pot, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Heat over medium-high, whisking often until it begins to simmer. Turn the heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes, mixing occasionally. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the Veggie ingredients on half of the pan, toss together and spread into an even layer (on half of the pan).
Place the salmon cubes on the other side of the pan and toss with oil, salt and 3 tablespoons of the Sauce. Spread into an even layer (on half of the pan).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and crispy. Brush the cooked salmon with a bit of sauce after baking.
Assemble the bowls – Evenly divide the quinoa, cooked veggies and salmon, and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Drizzle each bowl with the remaining sauce and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, add more ginger or garlic as desired.
Vegetables can be swapped based on preference.
