Description
A vibrant and healthy Mediterranean Salmon Bowl filled with seasoned salmon, fresh veggies, and creamy hummus.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz / 250 g salmon filet
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 2/3 cup purple cabbage, chopped
- Handful fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 10 olives, pitted
- 2 Tbsp hummus (or low-carb hummus)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the salmon. Rub the salmon with dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and one clove of minced garlic. Let it marinate for a few minutes while you prepare the veggies.
- Next, tackle the salad. In a bowl, chop the purple cabbage and massage it gently with lemon juice. Then, add the chopped lettuce, fresh basil leaves, olive oil, feta cheese, and the second clove of minced garlic. Mix everything well and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Now, grab your non-stick skillet for the broccoli. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then stir in the broccoli florets. Sauté them for about 2 minutes until they’re bright green and tender-crisp.
- After that, take the broccoli out of the pan. In the same skillet, add the marinated salmon. Cook it on medium to medium-high heat, covering it with a lid. Flip the salmon halfway through cooking. It usually takes about 6-7 minutes until it’s perfectly flaky.
- Now for the fun part: assembling your bowl! Start with the salad at the bottom of your bowl, then layer in the olives, hummus, broccoli, and finish with the salmon right in the middle. Enjoy your Mediterranean Salmon Bowl right away!
