Salmon

• 227–341 grams salmon (skinless), cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2–1 teaspoon paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon Chili flakes (Aleppo or Urfa Biber is good here)

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme ( or rosemary, sage, Italian seasoning)

• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil

Bowl Ingredients (enough for 2 large bowls)

• 372 grams cooked rice (basmati, or other cooked grain, or cooked cauliflower rice)

• 149 grams cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half (or sub-cooked beets, diced)

• 104 grams cucumber, diced

• 67 grams olives- kalamata, or greek

• 30–60 grams greens – arugula, spinach, romaine, etc.

• 43 grams tzatziki (or hummus) store-bought or homemade

• optional additions: fresh herbs (mint, dill or Italian parsley), feta, avocado, micro greens, pickled onions

Lemony Greek Dressing:

• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

• 30 ml lemon juice

• 30 ml red wine vinegar ( or sub AC vinegar)

• 59 ml olive oil

• 1 garlic clove, finely minced

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• optional: 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon capers

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set the rice to cook and make the Greek Dressing (just whisk together in a small jar or bowl).

2. Cut salmon and sprinkle with salt, pepper and all the spices.

3. Cook Salmon: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the seasoned salmon for a few minutes. Feel free to add more paprika if you want more color. Turn oven to sear the other side. Turn heat off. (See notes for baking.)

4. Assemble Bowls: Divide the rice (warm or chilled) between bowls. ( Shallow bowls work nicely here.) Divide and arrange the greens, cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, salmon (warm or chilled) and a dollop of tzatziki. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, microgreens, avocado, etc, or your choice of toppings.

5. Spoon a few tablespoons of dressing over the whole bowl, including the salmon.

6. Enjoy!
