The ultimate weekday bowl — complete protein, omega-3s, complex carbs, and greens.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Lemon tahini dressing: 3 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 clove garlic, 2-3 tbsp water, salt
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder for salmon

Directions

  1. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Cook salmon in a lightly oiled skillet, 4-5 min skin-side down, then 3-4 min on other side.
  3. Make dressing: blend or whisk all ingredients until smooth, adding water for consistency.
  4. Build bowls: quinoa, then greens, then salmon broken into chunks, avocado, and tomatoes.
  5. Drizzle dressing generously over everything.

Notes

Batch-cook quinoa on Sundays. These bowls can be meal-prepped 4 days ahead — keep dressing and avocado separate until eating.
