Lemony Salmon Quinoa Bowl

A spring reset recipe.

This spring, I am trying to set the foundation for a strong girl summer by eating whole foods that give me energy and power. This is a simple, balanced meal I come back to when I want something that supports energy, digestion, and overall nourishment, without overthinking it.

Ingredients (1–2 servings):

• 1–2 salmon fillets (wild caught)

• ½ cup quinoa (dry)

• Handfuls of arugula or spinach (or both!)

• ½ avocado per bowl

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• Lemon (juice + zest)

• Salt, pepper, garlic powder

• other optional toppings: pickled red onions, pistachios, hemp seeds, bell pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions.

2. Season salmon with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake at 400°F for ~12–15 minutes (or pan-sear).

3. Toss greens with olive oil + lemon juice.

4. Assemble bowl: quinoa, greens, salmon, avocado.

5. Finish with lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil.
