Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the quinoa

Rinse quinoa under cold water. Cook according to package instructions, typically 2:1 water to quinoa ratio. Let cool slightly after cooking.

2
Season the salmon

Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

3
Grill the salmon

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until it flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F.

4
Prepare the vegetables

Wash and dry the mixed greens. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Wash and thinly slice the cucumber.

5
Prepare the dressing

Peel and mince the garlic clove. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze to extract juice. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, remaining salt, and pepper.

6
Assemble the bowl

Place cooked quinoa in the center of a serving bowl. Arrange mixed greens around the quinoa. Add cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices.

7
Add the salmon

Place the grilled salmon fillet on top of the quinoa.

8
Dress the bowl

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon dressing over the entire bowl.

9
Serve

Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm.
