  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and cooked quinoa.

3

Add the salmon fillets to the mixture, breaking them into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and shredded cheese, then fold this into the salmon and vegetable mixture.

5

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.

If the avocado cream is too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.
