Salmon Protein Bowl

I am drooling just looking at this picture. This was so good and pretty simple to put together.

Ingredients:

  • 2 filets of Salmon (we bought wild caught salmon fresh from the grocery store)

  • Olive Oil ~1 tbsp to cover salmon

  • ‘Slap Ya Mama’ Seasoning

  • 1 cup Quinoa

  • 1 package Shredded Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 Red Onion

  • Salt and Pepper

  • 1 large handful Kale

  • 1 Zucchini chopped

  • 3 Carrots - chopped into small circles

  • 3 cloves of Garlic

  • 6 Roma Tomatoes

How to make:

  • Cook the quinoa as directed on the package.

  • Rub about 1 tbsp of olive oil on the salmon, then sprinkle ‘Slap Ya Mama’ seasoning to cover the top of the salmon.

  • Bake the salmon at 450 degrees for about 17- 20 minutes.

  • While the salmon is baking, put the brussels sprouts and red onion in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook until soft.

  • Next, cook the carrots and garlic in a pan until the carrots begin to soften. Add in the zucchini, salt and pepper, and continue to cook for an additional few minutes.

  • Last, add in a large handful of kale and stir until it begins to get soft and wilted. You don’t want to keep the kale in too long, only cook it until it is slightly soft, keeping a little crunch to it.

  • Build your bowl! Quinoa as the base, all of the veggies next, and finally the salmon. We also added a slight balsamic drizzle over top, but that is absolutely optional!

ENJOY!!!
