Whether you’re meal prepping or making a quick dinner, this delicious salmon quinoa bowl is a healthy treat.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salmon

• 1 pound salmon fillets
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Beau Monde Seasoning, or any seasoning you like, to taste

Quinoa

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
• 2 cups minced arugula
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek-style yogurt
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• Dash Sea salt

Directions

Make the salmon:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F or preheat the grill to medium.
• Brush both sides of the salmon with lemon juice and sprinkle with the Beau Monde Seasoning. Arrange the salmon in a large baking dish or place it directly on the grill.
• Bake or grill the salmon until cooked through, about 25 minutes in the oven or 10 minutes on the grill.

Make the quinoa:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Let the quinoa cool then add the tomatoes and arugula, and stir to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Add the yogurt mixture to the quinoa salad, and stir to combine.
• To serve, place a small (4-ounce) piece of salmon on top of some salad. (Salmon can be served hot or cold over the salad.)
