Gochujang Baked Quinoa with Slow Roasted Salmon

I love a baked quinoa moment, and this gochujang baked quinoa proves it. This is a simplified version of one of my favorite older recipes – now it’s streamlined, still low-effort, and just as satisfying. It serves three comfortably, though you can absolutely stretch it to four if no one is that hungry. It’s the kind of meal that checks every box: healthy, filling, meal-prep friendly, and honestly, kind of hard to mess up.

Mostly, I love baked quinoa for how easy it is, but also for how versatile it can be. You can find a few other baked quinoa variations on the blog, but this one really takes the cake. It’s spicy, a little sweet, super cozy, and comes together in under an hour but even during that time, you’re not doing all that much.
