Description
This salmon and quinoa bowl with green beans is a meal that keeps on giving. Pack up any leftovers for lunch the next day, or make the entire recipe ahead and pack it into individual serving containers for ready-to-go meals.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is no longer opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then flake the salmon into bite-size pieces (discard the skin).
- Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add beans; cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and set aside. Combine water, quinoa, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 bowls. Arrange the salmon, beans, tomato, feta, and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with more fresh oregano, if desired.
