Hearty Grilled Salmon & Quinoa Power Bowl Recipe 🐟🥗
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
🐟 1 salmon fillet (with or without skin)
🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
🍋 1 teaspoon olive oil
🍋 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
For the Bowl:
🥦 1/2 cup steamed broccoli florets
🥗 1/4 cup cooked green beans
🍅 1 small tomato, cut in half
🥚 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced in half
🍚 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
🌿 Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Quinoa:
Start by rinsing 1/4 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with 1/2 cup of water.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let it simmer until the water is fully absorbed—approximately 12-15 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Salmon:
Season your salmon fillet with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice for added zest.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the inside is tender and flaky.
Remove from heat and set aside.
3️⃣ Steam the Vegetables:
Steam the broccoli and green beans until they are tender yet retain their vibrant color. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
4️⃣ Boil the Egg:
Place the egg in boiling water and let it cook for 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk.
Once cooled, peel the shell and slice the egg in half.
5️⃣ Assemble Your Bowl:
Start with a base of fluffy quinoa in your serving bowl.
Add the cooked salmon, arranging the steamed broccoli, green beans, halved tomato, and boiled egg around it.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
6️⃣ Serve & Savor:
Dive into this wholesome and vibrant bowl, perfect for a nutritious and satisfying meal! 🌟
🌱 Tip: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra flavor boost!
