Ingredients
  

  • 4 4-5 oz. skinless salmon fillets
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • juice AND zest of 1 lime
  • 2 Tbsps raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
FOR THE BOWLS:
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 1-2 jalapeno peppers sliced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • lots of fresh lime wedges

Method
 

  1. Place all salmon fillets in a Ziploc bag or sealable container with minced garlic, basil, oregano, lime juice and zest, honey, and olive oil.
  2. Season with sea salt and pepper, then seal the bag and toss gently to coat thoroughly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to one hour.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa or brown rice and prepare the vegetables for the bowls.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and drizzle or spray with avocado or olive oil.
  6. Add salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and flaky. Adjust cooking time based on fillet thickness.
  7. To assemble bowls, divide the quinoa or rice equally among 4 bowls or meal prep containers.
  8. Top each bowl with garlic herb salmon, mashed or sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, and green onions.
  9. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado to keep it green and fresh, especially if storing for meal prep.
  10. Before eating, squeeze everything with lime juice and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Store bowls refrigerated and sealed well for up to 3 days.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've totally made this with chicken breast when I didn't have salmon on hand, just slice it thinner and cook until it's done through, about 5-7
