Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 3–4 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Bowl:
- 4 salmon fillets (1 to 1¼ lbs total)
- 1½ cups cooked quinoa
- 4 cups romaine or mixed greens
- 1 cup sliced English cucumber
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced red onion
- 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 avocado, sliced or diced
Tzatziki Sauce:
- ½ cup grated English cucumber (water squeezed out)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place your salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Allow them to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Transfer the marinated salmon (skin-side down) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 9–12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
In another medium bowl, combine sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garbanzo beans. Toss this mixture with the reserved marinade.
In a small bowl, mix together all Tzatziki sauce ingredients until well combined and creamy.
In each serving bowl, add a handful of greens followed by an even distribution of quinoa and salad mixture. Top each bowl with one salmon fillet, a dollop of Tzatziki sauce, crumbled feta cheese, olives, and diced avocado.

Notes

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for an easy make-ahead meal.
