Steps:
- Salmon is a really unique fish that we often take for granted. Everyone smothers it with heavy sauces or encrusts it with this and that...which is fine. But why not enjoy the fish for what it is from time to time? So, simply season the salmon fillet with a nice sprinkle of salt and coarse ground pepper, both sides. Rub the fillet with a small amount of olive oil. Grill or pan sear the salmon until just medium rare or medium, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. (The saying is, you don't cook salmon, you should merely threaten it!)
- In a skillet over high heat, heat the butter until nearly smoking. Add the shiitakes and leeks and cook on high heat until the edges just begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, simply spoon the mushroom/leek mixture onto salmon. Serve with a side of spinach spaetzle and a simple red pepper compound butter.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: This will make the cooking process much smoother and help you avoid any scrambling.
- Use a large skillet: This will give you plenty of room to cook all of the ingredients without overcrowding them.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the ingredients will not cook evenly and you will end up with a mushy mess.
- Cook the quinoa according to the package directions: Quinoa is a versatile grain that can be cooked in a variety of ways, but it is important to follow the package directions to ensure that it is cooked properly.
- Don't overcook the shiitake mushrooms: Shiitake mushrooms are delicate and can quickly become tough if they are overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes, or until they are softened.
- Add the snow peas at the end: Snow peas are also delicate and should be added to the skillet towards the end of the cooking process. This will help them to retain their crisp texture.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste: This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The quinoa will become mushy if it sits for too long.

This quinoa dish with shiitake mushrooms and snow peas is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also low in calories and fat.
