Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

        Cook the Quinoa: While the salmon marinates, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

          Roast the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

            Combine the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of fluffy quinoa. Top with roasted salmon, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and sliced avocado.

              Drizzle with Remaining Marinade: Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top of each power bowl for extra flavor.

                Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese (if using) and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
