Salmon Quinoa Bowl
Health Fun Fact
An amazing tip for increasing your protein intake is cooking quinoa & rice in chicken broth instead of water! Chicken broth has incredible health benefits, it’s high in collagen (which is great for your skin and joints), and it’s high in protein. Not only that, but it makes quinoa and rice taste so much better since it absorbs the broth instead of the water!
These bowls are super easy to whip together, and they’re a delicious & balanced meal! They’re also a great way to use up any ingredients in your fridge, so feel free to swap any ingredients or veggies for what you do have (ex. chicken instead of salmon, rice instead of quinoa, cucumbers instead of tomatoes, etc)
Recipe
Servings: 2 bowls
Ingredients:
quinoa (cooked in bone broth - my fave brand is Kettle and Fire)
salmon
organic arugula
organic baby tomatoes
organic parmesan
organic canned chickpeas/garbanzo beans
dressing: olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt & proper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425F
Coat your chickpeas in olive oil, salt, pepper & paprika
Place on parchment paper and put in the oven for 30 mins
Now prep your salmon, covering it in olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, dill & lemon juice
When the chickpeas have 15 mins left, place the salmon in the oven and leave the salmon in there for the remaining 15 mins
Cook the quinoa according to the package’s instructions (water is fine to use too if you don’t have bone broth, I just like using bone broth if I have it bc it’s an incredible source of collagen and nutrients). I also add a tablespoon of butter into the quinoa once it’s almost done cooking to add some healthy fats and make it even more creamy and delicious!
While everything is cooking, combine all the ingredients for the dressing
Once everything is done, place it all in a bowl, drizzle it all with a little dressing and parmesan, and enjoy! 💛
