  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup quinoa, cooked
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

For the Lemon-Tahini Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (to thin the dressing)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake the salmon on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Prepare the lemon-tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, honey (if using), water, and salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
  • Assemble the nourish bowl by dividing the quinoa into two bowls. Top with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion, and feta cheese (if using).
  • Add the baked salmon fillet to each bowl and drizzle with the lemon-tahini dressing.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice or cauliflower rice for quinoa if desired.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
