A healthy and flavorful Mediterranean Salmon Bowl featuring pan-seared salmon, quinoa, fresh vegetables, and a tangy lemon-herb dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6 ounce) salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • For the Lemon-Herb Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  3. While the salmon cooks, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the bowl. Place the cooked quinoa in the bottom of a bowl.
  5. Top the quinoa with the cooked salmon fillet.
  6. Arrange the chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion around the salmon.
  7. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing generously over the entire bowl. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can prepare the quinoa ahead of time to save on prep time.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, Kalamata olives, or artichoke hearts.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
