Omega-3 Salmon Power Bowl

Omega-3 Salmon Power Bowl

Incorporating fatty acids and vitamin D into your diet is crucial for maintaining optimal health, especially for supporting brain function, immune health, and reducing inflammation. This simple yet nutrient-packed recipe is not only delicious but also provides a perfect balance of these essential nutrients.

Why Fatty Acids and Vitamin D Are Important: Fatty acids, particularly omega-3s, are vital for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation throughout the body. Fatty fish like salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3s. Vitamin D, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in bone health, immune system support, and even mood regulation. Salmon is also a rich source of vitamin D, making it a powerhouse for these two nutrients.

Pairing salmon with quinoa, a complete protein rich in fiber, and butternut squash, full of vitamins A and C, creates a nutrient-dense meal that nourishes your body and satisfies your taste buds.

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cup Quinoa (dry, rinsed)
  • 2 cups Butternut Squash (peeled, seeds removed and cubed)
  • 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Harissa
  • 2 tsps Raw Honey
  • 0.75 lbss Salmon Fillet
  • 2 tbsps Parsley (finely chopped)

Preparation:

  1. Cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Place the squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with half of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. While the squash cooks, combine the harissa, honey, and remaining oil in a small bowl. Place the salmon on a separate baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Rub the harissa mixture over the salmon.
  4. Transfer the salmon to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until flaky and cooked to your liking. The timing will depend on the thickness of your fillet(s).
  5. Divide the salmon, quinoa, and squash evenly between plates. Garnish with the parsley and enjoy!
