- In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Set aside.
- Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil and add lemons and herbs for the human portions.

Cooking tips for pets and humans:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Avoid avocado and anything containing caffeine or alcohol as these can be harmful to your pets. Onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and raisins as well as certain nuts can be deadly to dogs or cats.
Seasoning: Keep dishes bland for pets. Dogs and cats can be very sensitive to salt and spices, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. It’s best to remove a portion for your dog or cat before adding any seasonings for your own servings.
Consult your vet: New foods should always be checked with a veterinary doctor before being fed to dogs or cats. This is important because it ensures safety and proper measurements, especially considering that different animals have varying nutritional needs based on health condition, age and size.
