Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 2 lemons

Juice of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.

      Prepare the Grill:

        Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

          Grill the Salmon:

            Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If desired, you can add lemon slices on the grill for extra flavor.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                While the salmon is grilling, prepare your bowl ingredients. In each bowl, add a scoop of cooked quinoa as the base. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and avocado slices.

                  Add the Salmon:

                    Once the salmon is grilled, place one fillet on top of each bowl.

                      Garnish:

                        Sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese if using. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

                          Serve:

                            Enjoy your delicious Grilled Lemon Garlic Salmon Bowls warm, fresh off the grill!
