Quinoa
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon, cut into 4 filets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
Toppings
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 1 cup hummus

- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Toasted Chickpeas
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the chickpeas. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Bake. Spread the chickpeas over the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy.
Quinoa
- Rinse. Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- Cook the quinoa. Combine the quinoa, water, salt, and olive oil in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Fluff. Remove the saucepan from the heat, uncover, and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Instant Pot Salmon
- Season the salmon. Season the salmon filets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Cook. Place the salmon filets, skin-side-down, on top of a trivet in the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes before performing a manual release.
- Assemble the salmon bowls: Divide the quinoa between 4 bowls (each bowl will serve 1 person). Divide the toasted chickpeas between the bowls. Divide the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives between the bowls. Lay a salmon filet on top of each bowl along with a large dollop of hummus. Sprinkle each serving with feta cheese and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- If you don't love quinoa or might not have any on hand, you can use cauliflower rice, brown rice, jasmine rice, or any of your favorite rice options in its place for this delicious meal.
- A simple way to add more fresh flavors or fresh veggies is by toppings. Here are a few suggested toppings: sesame seeds, sriracha mayo, creamy avocado sauce, green onions, lemon juice, lemon slices, or coconut aminos.
- Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge until the next day, or up to 5 days from making the ultimate nutritious meal.
