Print Recipe

A simple recipe for assembling flavorful BBQ salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, and quinoa into a complete power bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ rub seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
  • 2 cups water or broth
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
  • For Dressing: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender.
  3. While potatoes roast, cook the quinoa according to package directions using water or broth.
  4. Rub the salmon fillets evenly with the BBQ rub seasoning.
  5. Place the seasoned salmon on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Prepare the dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, lime juice, water, and chopped cilantro until smooth. Add more water if a thinner consistency is needed.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls.
  8. Top the quinoa with roasted sweet potatoes, corn kernels, and a portion of the cooked BBQ salmon.
  9. Garnish each bowl with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Drizzle the creamy cilantro dressing over the top before serving.

Notes

  • You can grill the salmon instead of baking; cook over medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side.
  • For meal prep, store the dressing separately and assemble the bowls just before eating.
  • Use brown rice or farro instead of quinoa for a different grain base.
