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 5–6 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Using the same pan, crack the egg and fry it sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolk is runny.
- 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.
- Sprinkle with chili flakes, pepper, and a pinch of salt to taste.
Notes
