Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

4 cloves garlic, minced

Juice and zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth or water

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup baby spinach

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they're evenly coated. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth (or water) to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is easily flaked with a fork. Discard the remaining marinade.

        Prepare the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, followed by the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

          Assemble and Serve: Place the grilled salmon on top of the veggies and quinoa. Garnish with fresh parsley. Drizzle any leftover lemon juice over the bowl for an extra burst of flavor.
