Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 2 (6 oz each) salmon fillets skin on or off
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked rice or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper any color
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
For the Dressing
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets.
  4. Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the salmon bakes, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  6. Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked rice or mixed greens between two bowls. Top with the baked salmon, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro or parsley.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over each bowl just before serving.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like avocado, corn, or shredded carrots. You can also substitute the dressing with your favorite vinaigrette.
