Instructions

Step 1
Place all Level 1 ingredients in the pot and stir to combine.

Step 2
Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot, above the quinoa.

On a plate, combine the herb seasoning and panko until combined. Evenly coat each salmon fillet on all sides with canola oil, salt, and pepper, then press the top of each salmon fillet into the panko mixture. Place the salmon panko-side up on the tray.
