Place the quinoa in a bowl, cover with warm water and rinse well. Drain in a fine sieve. Add the measured water, stock cube and quinoa to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 min or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Add half of the green peas, mix, and keep warm.
Meanwhile, peel and mince the garlic. Grate the Parmesan. Add the basil, the remaining green peas, pine nuts, garlic (don't like raw garlic? Go easy!), the grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt and black pepper to a food processor. Blitz until smooth. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice. Alternatively, use a blender. This is your pesto.
Portion the salmon. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 min on either side until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve the salmon over the green pea quinoa with the pesto and lemon wedges to the side.
Serve with pasta instead of quinoa!
Fresh pesto keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days when stored in a clean glass container.
