Clean and wash the salmon. Mix salt, pepper, garlic paste and thyme in a plate. Coat the fish from both sides and keep in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile wash the greens. Chop onion, tomato, basil leaves into bite size pieces. Mix them with boiled quinoa or corn. Add salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice.
