Greek Salmon Bowl

Serves 4

Active Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

1 pound salmon fillet

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

8 ounces string beans (green, yellow, or a mix), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 3/4 cups water

3/4 cup quinoa (red, white, or tricolored), rinsed

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish, or 1/2 teaspoon dried

1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved or sliced

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is no longer opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then flake the salmon into bite-size pieces (discard the skin).

2. Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add beans; cover and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and set aside. Combine water, quinoa, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

3. Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

4. To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 bowls. Arrange the salmon, beans, tomato, feta and olives over the quinoa. Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with more fresh oregano, if desired.
