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.

Why this supports your body:

  • Protein + healthy fats → help stabilize energy + keep you full

  • Fiber from quinoa + greens → supports gut health

  • Omega-3s from salmon, avocaod, and olive oil → help reduce inflammation

  • Antioxidants from greens and other veg → reduce inflammation and support healing and immunity

  • Simple, balanced meal → easier for your body to process and use
