How to Make Hearty Grilled Salmon & Quinoa Power Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 salmon fillet (with or without skin)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup steamed broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup cooked green beans
• 1 small tomato, cut in half
• 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced in half
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the Quinoa: Rinse 1/4 cup of quinoa under cold water. Then, combine it with 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the water is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes. Fluff it with a fork when it’s done.

2. Cook the Salmon: Season your salmon fillet with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden and flaky.

3. Steam the Vegetables: In another pot, steam the broccoli and green beans until they’re tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

4. Boil the Egg: Place your egg in boiling water and cook it for around 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk. Once it’s done, cool it off, peel the shell, and slice it.

5. Assemble Your Bowl: Start with a base of fluffy quinoa in your serving bowl. Next, add the cooked salmon, steamed broccoli, green beans, halved tomato, and sliced egg. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh parsley!

6. Serve & Savor: Now it’s time to enjoy this nutritious bowl!
