Description
A delicious and healthy Grilled Lemon Herb Salmon Bowl packed with flavors from fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 lemons (one for zest and juice, one for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper, carrot, and corn. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Set aside.
- Grill the Salmon: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the rice and vegetable mixture among four bowls. Top each bowl with a grilled salmon fillet. Garnish with lemon wedges and green onions if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can grill the lemon wedges before garnishing.
- Adjust the seasoning of the rice and vegetables according to your taste preference.
- Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
