Ingredients

Salmon

Bowl

Greek Dressing

Instructions

Prepare the Dressing and Rice

  1. Set the rice to cook according to package directions.
  2. Whisk together all Greek dressing ingredients in a small jar or bowl. Set aside.

Cook the Salmon

  1. Cut salmon into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, and dried thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the seasoned salmon for a few minutes on each side until cooked through. Turn heat off.

Assemble the Bowls

  1. Divide the rice (warm or chilled) between two shallow bowls.
  2. Arrange the greens, cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, and seared salmon over the rice.
  3. Add a dollop of tzatziki to each bowl.
  4. Drizzle a few tablespoons of Greek dressing over the entire bowl, including the salmon.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, feta, or avocado if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For baking, place seasoned salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
  • Cauliflower rice can be substituted for regular rice for a lower-carb option.
  • The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
