Mediterranean Salmon Grain Bowl

Method

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. 2
   In a small bowl combine the marinade ingredients. Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour half the dressing over the salmon and marinate for 15 minutes while you begin to prepare the rest of the ingredients. When marinating time is up, place salmon, skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. If needed, cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

   Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion and chickpeas. Toss with the remaining marinade. Set aside.

   Assemble the bowls as you please. Place a handful of greens in each bowl. Divide the marinated cucumber, cherry tomato and chickpea mixture among the bowls. Repeat with quinoa. Add a salmon fillet (skin should easily remove from fillet) to the bowls. Lastly, top with a big dollop of your favorite Tzatziki sauce, feta cheese crumbles and avocado slices.
