This BBQ Haddock Quinoa Salad Recipe is the perfect summer salad. A wholesome salad full of all fresh vegetables, deliciously light Sizzlefish haddock, quinoa and a zesty BBQ sauce. Even better, this recipe is easy to make so you can enjoy all the greatness summertime has to offer.
When the weather gets nice, it’s time to hit the grill. We’ve come up with a show stopper that not only works for a family dinner, but makes an incredible dish to take to a summer potluck. What’s even better about this recipe? You can make the quinoa salad the day before so all you have to do is grill the haddock while you enjoy the sunshine. Pretty perfect, wouldn’t you say?
What Kind of Fish is Haddock?
Not only is this salad easy to make and delicious, but it is so good for you! Here at Sizzlefish, our haddock is a North American species related to cod. Did you know that Sizzlefish haddock has twice the amount of Omega3s as cod? The mild flavor and flaky texture of our haddock works so well in this salad recipe. We love the combination of grilled haddock with the nutty quinoa along with crisp summer vegetables combined with fresh cilantro and brightly flavored BBQ sauce to make this amazing combination.
