Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets

4 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Marinate: In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the garlic-lemon marinade.

      Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

        Assemble the Bowl: While the salmon is baking, prepare the base of the power bowl. In a large bowl or plate, layer the cooked quinoa, baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced avocado.

          Top with Salmon: Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven and gently place a fillet on top of each bowl.

            Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the bowls for added flavor and color.

              Serve: Drizzle any remaining garlic-lemon marinade over the bowls for an extra burst of flavor.
