Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa/Rice: Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes (or until water is absorbed). Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the garlic-lemon marinade over them. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

        Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa/rice as the base. Top with slices of salmon, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and a handful of baby spinach.

            Add Toppings: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over each bowl if desired, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra touch.
