Blacked Salmon Grain Bowl

Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 C dried quinoa
  • 4 skinless salmon filets (roughly 4-5 oz each)
  • 1-2 Tbsp Cajun or blackened seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp oil or cooking spray
  • 5 oz bag mixed greens
  • 1 C salsa, divided
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp of your favorite salad dressing (Optional)
  • 1 Tbsp sour cream (Optional)

 

Directions:

  1. Cook quinoa according to box/bag directions. Usually, add 1 C quinoa and 2 C water to saucepan and bring to a boil on stove over high heat. Reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir/fluff quinoa with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. When quinoa is almost finished cooking, sprinkle top of each salmon fillet with blackened or Cajun seasoning.
  3. Place oil in large sauté pan (or spray with cooking spray). Heat for 2 minutes over medium-high heat on stove top. Place salmon fillets in sauté pan and cook 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
  4. Portion quinoa equally into 4 serving bowls. Top each with equal portions of mixed greens, salmon, salsa, and sliced avocado. Add dressing or sour cream, if desired, and enjoy!

 

Swaps:

  • For the quinoa: rice or cauliflower rice
  • For the salmon: shrimp, cod, chicken, steak, black beans, or tempeh
  • For the mixed greens: lettuce, spinach, kale, or frozen broccoli
  • For the salsa: pico de gallo, chopped/canned tomatoes, or diced onion
  • For the avocado: sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
