Healthy Grilled Salmon Greek Bowl

This bowl includes succulent grilled salmon, crisp cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a generous scoop of creamy tzatziki, all served over a base of quinoa. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 2 people.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Quinoa: In a medium pot, combine the quinoa and water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Marinate Salmon: Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.
Grill the Salmon: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Assemble the Bowl: On each serving plate, place a bed of quinoa. Top with grilled salmon, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Spoon tzatziki sauce over the top.
Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
