Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Place salmon in a baking dish (skin-side down, if not skinned). Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, add quinoa to the boiling water, cover and reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook until most of the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Combine mayonnaise, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon garlic in a small bowl. Combine panko, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon garlic in another small bowl.

Step 5

Uncover the salmon and spread each fillet with about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture topped with 2 tablespoons of the panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Continue baking, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes more.

Step 6

Add peas and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt to the quinoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the peas are hot and the water is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in dill, lemon zest and lemon juice. Serve the quinoa with the salmon.
