Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

ΒΌ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.

    Preheat Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure it's clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

      Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

        Prepare the Bowls: While the salmon is grilling, divide the cooked quinoa into two bowls. Top with baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

          Assemble the Bowls: Once the salmon is cooked, carefully place it on top of the quinoa and veggies in each bowl. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

            Serve: Add a lemon wedge on the side for extra zest, if desired. Enjoy your delicious, nutritious Grilled Lemon Garlic Salmon Bowls!
