Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

2 cups baby spinach

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

      Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess. Place the fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Flip the fillets halfway through grilling for even cooking.

        Assemble the Bowls: While the salmon is grilling, prepare your bowls. Start with a base of cooked quinoa in each bowl. Top with a handful of baby spinach, followed by diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

          Add the Salmon: Once the salmon is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and place a fillet on top of each bowl.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the bowls for a fresh finish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
