Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz. each)

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 2 lemons

2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa (or brown rice)

2 cups baby spinach (or arugula)

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

      Prepare the Grill:

        Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F - 400°F). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop. Lightly oil the grill grates or the grill pan to prevent sticking.

          Grill the Salmon:

            Remove the salmon from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down (if applicable) onto the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

              Prepare the Bowls:

                While the salmon is grilling, prepare your bowls. Start with a base of cooked quinoa (or brown rice) at the bottom of each bowl. Top it with a handful of baby spinach, and then add sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cooked salmon.

                  Finish and Serve:

                    Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

                      Enjoy:

                        Mix everything together in the bowl before eating to marry the flavors. Enjoy your healthy and vibrant grilled lemon garlic salmon bowls!
