Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a medium pot,combine the quinoa and water broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover,and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa cooks, steam the diced zucchini and broccoli florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add the frozen peas in the last 2 minutes to thaw.
Place salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Let cool, then use your fingers to check for and remove any small bones. Flake the meat into small pieces.
In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked quinoa, flaked salmon, and steamed vegetables. Stir in the coconut oil and dried dill (if using). Allow to cool completely before serving or portioning.
Divide into daily servings based on your dog's weight and activity level.
