Best healthy comfort food ever: a packed bowl with vegetables, quinoa and salmon

It's a bit hard to say exactly how many people this recipe serves. We ate this as a group of three and that was enough. If you want more or less of something, feel free to adjust. After all, you should be happy with it =) That also means you can swap the salmon for, for example, beef strips or a piece of tender chicken. A lovely, inspiring dish—enjoy!

Equipment

  • Small chopper (the one that comes with the immersion blender. A mortar and pestle also works)
  • spiralizer
  • grill pan
  • pan (optionally with a steamer basket)
  • nice bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 200 g mushrooms (or other varieties)
  • 1 zucchini
  • 150 g quinoa (any type; we used a mixed variety)
  • 1 avocado
  • 150 g sugar snap peas
  • 450 g salmon fillet (3 pieces of 150 g)
  • black sesame seeds
  • lemon (for the zest; you can also use the juice for the dressing)
  • a handful of cashews

Bowl with vegetables, quinoa and salmon

    1. Wash all the vegetables and cut the bell pepper and mushrooms into large pieces. Grill these in a pan with a little olive oil, salt and pepper until nicely cooked.

    2. Make ribbons of the zucchini with the spiralizer. Cook the quinoa until done and steam (or boil) the sugar snap peas until tender (3-5 minutes). Slice the avocado. Now make the dressing by putting all the ingredients in the small chopper.

    3. Finally, grill the salmon: brush it with olive oil, season with freshly ground salt and pepper and grate some lemon zest over it. Quickly sear it in the grill pan.

    4. Lastly, quickly toast the cashews in the pan until they turn a little brown.

    5. Now assemble the bowl! Start with the zucchini and arrange all the ingredients side by side on top. So some sugar snaps, quinoa, peppers/mushrooms, avocado and the salmon. Sprinkle some sesame seeds over it and finish with the dressing and the roasted cashews. Enjoy!

This bowl is perfect when you want to enjoy a meal that's both nourishing and flavorful. The combination of salmon, quinoa and fresh vegetables provides a nice balance of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Ideal for a weekday dinner or a hearty lunch.

Feel free to vary the vegetables you have at home, or swap the salmon for chicken or tofu for a different twist. The roasted cashews and black sesame seeds give the bowl a great crunch and a festive look. Enjoy your meal!
