Description

A vibrant Power Protein Bowl packed with nutrients from salmon, quinoa, and fresh veggies, perfect for a healthy meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 salmon fillet (about 56 oz), seasoned with rosemary, salt, and pepper
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa brown rice blend
  • 1/4 cup sliced yellow and red bell peppers, roasted or sautéed
  • 1 cup mixed greens (spinach or romaine)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg
  • Olive oil spray or 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and chili flakes (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the salmon fillet with herbs, salt, and pepper. Place it in a baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until flaky.
  2. While the salmon is baking, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil or add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the bell peppers and sauté for about 6 minutes until softened.
  3. Using the same pan, crack the egg and fry it sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolk is runny.
  4. In a deep plate or bowl, layer mixed greens first, followed by cooked quinoa, sautéed bell peppers, cucumber, and avocado. Top with baked salmon and the fried egg.
  5. Sprinkle with chili flakes, pepper, and a pinch of salt to taste.

Notes

Feel free to customize the bowl with different veggies and grains. Cook quinoa in broth for added flavor.
