Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 719kcal
Ingredients
- 240 g Salmon fillets approx 120g/4.25 oz per fillet
- 2 portion Cooked quinoa
- 0.5 Cucumber sliced
- 0.5 Avocado sliced
- 10 Cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 Sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 10 Olives halved
- 2 portion Marinated butter beans
- 2 portion Greek yogurt salad dressing
Instructions
- Prepare 2 portion Cooked quinoa.
- At the same time, cook 240 g Salmon fillets - we air fried ours.
- Divide the cooked quinoa between bowls and then top with the cooked salmon. Add 0.5 Cucumber, 0.5 Avocado, 10 Cherry tomatoes, 4 Sun-dried tomatoes, 10 Olives, 2 portion Marinated butter beans and 2 portion Greek yogurt salad dressing.
Notes
- Use cooked quinoa that has fully cooled if you want a more defined, fluffy texture. Freshly cooked quinoa can be softer and more delicate, so cooling it first helps it hold up better in the bowl.
- If air frying, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. The salmon cooks more evenly and gets a better finish when there is space for the air to circulate.
- Let the salmon rest for a minute or two after cooking. This helps the juices settle and keeps the fish lovely and flaky.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon right before serving brightens everything and lifts all the flavours.
- If your sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, drain them well before adding them to the bowls so they do not make the whole dish oily.
- This salmon quinoa bowl is fairly high in calories for a meal (but also very nutritious), so I would usually have it on a high activity day. You can always adapt it if you need it to be lower in calories. Reduce the beans, take out the olives and sun-dried tomatoes and reduce the avocado.
