A vibrant medley of flaky salmon, quinoa, and fresh vegetables that transports you to sun-drenched shores.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa in water according to package instructions. Once done, set it aside to let it cool.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through, ensuring that you have that lovely golden crisp on the outside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour this delightful dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss well to combine all those delicious flavors.
  5. Serve the quinoa salad in bowls and top each serving with the beautifully seared salmon fillets. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

This bowl can be served standalone or with warm pita and tzatziki.
