  • 10 cherry tomatos, halved
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped

  2. Place fish fillets on the tray and sprinkle over fresh thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
  3. Squeeze over 1/2 lemon juice and bake for 13-15 minutes, until fish is just cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine quinoa, parsley, onion, tomatos and spinach. Dress with remaining lemon juice and season to taste.
  5. Serve fish on a bed of the tabouli and enjoy!
