Greek Salmon Bowl
Active Time: 30 minutesTotal Time: 45 minutes
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 ounces string beans (green, yellow, or a mix), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 3/4 cup quinoa (red, white, or tricolored), rinsed
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved or sliced
Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add beans; cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and set aside. Combine water, quinoa, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 bowls. Arrange the salmon, beans, tomato, feta, and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with more fresh oregano, if desired.
