Prep Time:25 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes

Equipment

  • 4 "bowls" See some great options, within post

Ingredients

  • 1.25 pounds salmon
  • 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • ground pepper
  • 12 oz green beans, fresh
  • 1-3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tsp fresh oregano, chopped or 1 tsp, dried
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with foil and place salmon filet on foil. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and ground pepper, to taste.
  • Bake salmon until it's no longer opaque in the center, roughly 15-20 minutes. Remove salmon from oven, separate from skin and break into pieces.
  • While salmon is cooking, bring 1-inch of water to a boil in a saucepan with steamer. Add green beans and cover, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes. Immediately rinse beans under cold water, drain.
  • Rinse saucepan, then combine 1-3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup quinoa, and 1/8 tsp salt in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, covering. Simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork.

To Make Dressing

  • Whisk 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, minced garlic, oregano and the remaining salt in a small bowl.
  • When ready to serve, divide quinoa between 4 bowls. Then segment beans, tomato and olives in bowl. Place pieces of salmon on top. Drizzle dressing evenly between the 4 bowls. Enjoy!
