Mediterranean Salmon Bowl
This Mediterranean Salmon Bowl is loaded with healthy Mediterranean ingredients. Tender lemon salmon is baked to perfection and added into a bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olives, feta cheese and fresh herbs. A drizzle of a lemon dressing finishes off this salmon bowl. These work great for lunch or dinner and are easy to put together!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 16 ounces salmon cut in 4 even pieces
- 3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 Teaspoons dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
For the salmon bowl:
- 1 5 ounce lettuce mix
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers chopped
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/2 english cucumber, diced
- 5 green onions, green and white parts chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon za'atar {or seasoning of your choice}
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet.
- Brush each of the of the salmon filets with the olive oil followed by the lemon juice. Sprinkle the dill, salt and pepper over the salmon.
- Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness of your salmon. I find it is about 10 minutes per 1-inch thickness or until the thickest part of the salmon is 145 degrees F.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and flake it into large chucks and set in a bowl.
- Set out four bowls and divide up the lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, roasted red peppers, olives, cucumbers, green onions and parsley. Add the chunks of salmon into each bowl.
- In a mason jar or salad dressing jar combine the olive oil, lemon juice, spices and garlic. Mix well. Drizzle the dressing over your salmon bowl. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can create one big salad for your guests to share. Instead of splitting the ingredients between four bowls you can serve it all in one big salad bowl.
- I will often set all of the ingredients out on the table and let my family assemble their own salmon bowl.
