Salmon Harvest Bowl
I have noticed lately how much I enjoy experimenting with salmon in my cooking, and I think I’ve found the perfect recipe to showcase how versatile salmon can be. My Salmon Harvest Bowl is warming, nourishing, and delivers everything you look for in the winter. Packed with hearty quinoa, roasted vegetables, and of course, creamy avocado, it’s everything you need to feel cozy and satisfied.
My favorite part about this bowl is how it can bring together so many different textures and flavors, whilst avoiding becoming overpowering. The star of the show is of course, the salmon — roasted until it is flaky and tender. Pair that with roasted chickpeas to give it that satisfying crunch, broccolini for its hint of sweetness when cooked, and a mixture of red onion and grape tomatoes to round things out. This bowl is not only beautiful to look at but it is also loaded with nutrients. It’s high in protein, full of healthy fats, and loaded with veggies which you can never go wrong with!
Ingredients:
1 salmon filet (about 4-6 ounces)
1 cup cooked quinoa (use bone broth for extra flavor and protein!)
1 can chickpeas
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
1/2 red onion sliced into wedges
handful of grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 avocado, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp oregano
salt & pepper
Instructions:
preheat your oven to 425 F.
Place the salmon filet on a lined baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, garlic powder, and oregano. roast for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
On a separate baking sheet, toss chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and the remaining paprika, garlic powder, and oregano, and roast for 20 minutes.
On one more baking sheet, add your broccolini and red onion, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil, and roast for about 10-12 minutes.
While the salmon and veggies are roasting, prepare your quinoa according to the package instructions. Use bone broth instead of water for a kick of flavor.
Assemble your bowl with a base of quinoa. Then arrange your roasted broccolini, onions, and chickpeas on top. Add the avocado slices and tomatoes, and then finish with the salmon and enjoy!
