    1 English Cucumber (with peel) Diced
    2 oz Athenos Reduced Fat Feta Cheese
    Lemon Juice to taste

Add the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until water has evaporated and quinoa is soft. Usually about 15 minutes.

Spray a large non stick skillet with pam. Heat on medium high heat. Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper and paprika.

Cook fillets until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness and heat level.

Stir cucumber, feta, 2 tsp olive oil, and lemon juice into quinoa.
