Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup spinach or arugula

Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400-450°F (200-230°C).

        Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the salmon skin-side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and has nice grill marks.

          Prepare the Bowls: While the salmon is grilling, prepare the quinoa and divide it among four bowls. Top each bowl with a handful of spinach or arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and slices of avocado.

            Assemble the Bowls: Once the salmon is done, carefully place a fillet on top of the quinoa in each bowl.

              Garnish & Serve: Garnish the bowls with fresh parsley or dill, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.
