Description
This is the bowl that meal prep dreams are made of. Flaky roasted salmon, herby couscous or quinoa, juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy cukes, kalamata olives, and a dollop of creamy tzatziki — it’s like a beach vacation in every bite. It’s healthy-ish, super satisfying, and wildly customizable.
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bowl Base:
1 cup cooked couscous or quinoa (up to you!)
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup crumbled feta (optional)
For the Sauce:
½ cup tzatziki (store-bought or homemade)
Optional: lemon wedges, fresh dill or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Season & Roast the Salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F (or air fry at 390°F). Rub salmon with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast for 12–15 minutes or until flaky and golden at the edges.
Prep the Base: While salmon is baking, get the rest of the bowl goodies chopped and ready.
Assemble: Start with couscous or quinoa, then pile on the veggies. Place salmon on top like the star it is. Add feta and olives.
Sauce It Up: Drizzle or dollop with tzatziki. Garnish with herbs or lemon if you’re feeling extra.
Eat Now or Later: Serve warm or chill for a meal-prepped lunch tomorrow — it’s great either way
Notes
Add hummus or baba ganoush for bonus flavor.
Wrap it all up in a warm pita for a salmon gyro vibe.
Top with a soft-boiled egg for extra protein.
