Method
 

Prepare the Quinoa
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water, and olive oil.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and water is absorbed.
Cook the Salmon
  1. While the quinoa is cooking, preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets.
  3. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
Prepare the Toppings
  1. While the salmon cooks, prepare the toppings by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and slicing the red onion and olives.
  2. In a serving bowl, combine the prepared vegetables, feta cheese, and olives.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic, and honey until well combined.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls.
  2. Top each bowl with salmon fillets, the prepared vegetable mixture, and drizzle with the dressing.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy!
