Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the herb mixture evenly over the top.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into strips.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the creamy garlic dressing. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top each with salmon strips, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle the creamy garlic dressing over each bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
Substitute quinoa or brown rice for a different grain option.
