For the salmon:
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp. jarred minced garlic)
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 lb. salmon
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
For the bowls:

- 2 cups cucumber (diced)
- 1 cup kalamata or black olives (sliced in half)
- 14.5 oz. canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
Prepare salmon:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, add olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest and dried oregano. Set aside.
- Place salmon skin-side down on baking sheet and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil/lemon mixture over top and sides of salmon. Coat well, rubbing the oil into the salmon.
- Place in preheated oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is cooked through. Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make Salmon Bowls:
- Divide warmed, cooked rice into four bowls.
- Add ½ cup cucumber, ¼ cup olives and ⅓ cup chickpeas to each bowl.
- Top each bowl with a 4-oz. piece of cooked salmon and drizzle with two Tbsp. tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add any veggies from your fridge — even roasted veggies work well here.
- Swap the rice for couscous or quinoa.
