This is one of my go-to meals when I want something that feels elevated… but takes very little effort.
Simple, balanced, and actually keeps you full.
These Lemon-Herb Salmon Bowls are perfect for busy nights when you want a solid, nourishing meal.

Serves 2–3
🍣 For the salmon:
1–1.5 lbs (450–680 g) salmon, cut into portions
1 Tbsp olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1–2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried dill (or 1 Tbsp fresh)
Salt & pepper to taste
🥣 For the bowls:
2–3 cups (300-450 g) cooked rice or quinoa
1 cup (120 g) cucumber, diced
1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 big handful of spinach or arugula
Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, feta cheese, chickpeas, fresh herbs
👉 Heat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Mix olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper. Spoon over salmon. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily.
Assemble bowls with grains, greens, veggies, and any extras you like.
Top with salmon and drizzle with any remaining lemon-herb sauce.
