Ingredients
  

For the quinoa

  • 1/4 cup quinoa Rinse under cold water before cooking
  • 1/2 cup water For cooking quinoa

For the salmon and veggies

  • 1 fillet salmon Skin-on or off
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup green beans Cooked
  • 1 small tomato Cut in half
  • 1 hard-boiled egg Halved
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • to taste Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse 1/4 cup quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 12-15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Season your salmon fillet with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s golden and flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to rest.
  • Steam the broccoli and green beans until they’re tender but still bright green and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place the egg in boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes for a firm yolk. Cool, peel, and cut in half.

Assembly

  • Spoon the quinoa into the bottom of your bowl. Arrange the grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, green beans, tomato halves, and boiled egg on top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
  • Dig into this wholesome, vibrant bowl! Perfect for a nourishing lunch or dinner.

Notes

Make sure to rinse the quinoa well to remove any bitterness. Feel free to swap the veggies based on what you have at home—zucchini or bell peppers work great, too! If you want more protein, add another egg or some chickpeas. This bowl is perfect for meal prep; keep the ingredients separate until you’re ready to eat to keep everything fresh.
