Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 filet salmon filet (or another fish you like)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils (canned is fine, just rinse)
  • 2 big handfuls mixed greens
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber and cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 piece avocado, sliced

Dressing and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a sprinkle of feta or pumpkin seeds

Instructions
 

Cooking the Salmon

  • Season salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes easily.

Preparing the Lentils

  • While salmon bakes, toss lentils with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, and a pinch of salt.

Assembly

  • Build your bowl: add greens first, then lentils, followed by crunchy veggies, and finally, top with avocado.
  • Add the baked salmon on top and any extras you love.

Notes

For added convenience, use canned lentils, bagged greens, and pre-chopped veggies. This bowl can also be made vegetarian by swapping salmon for tofu, tempeh, or boiled eggs.
