Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water; cook with 2 cups of water in a pot over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  3. Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the salmon cooks, prepare the veggies by chopping tomatoes and cucumber. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice.
  5. Once quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and mix in half of the chopped veggies along with feta cheese.
  6. Assemble by placing quinoa in bowls topped with salmon and remaining veggies. Drizzle with olive oil and add extra feta if desired.
