Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.

In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water (or broth), and salt.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the quinoa with a fork and serve warm.
