Method
 

General Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, dill, minced garlic, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Marinate the salmon fillets in the marinade for about 15 minutes.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes until opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Chop cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Combine with garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Toss with reserved marinade.
  6. In a small bowl, combine grated cucumber with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to prepare Tzatziki sauce.
  7. Assemble your bowl starting with a base of quinoa and fresh greens. Layer on the salad mix and baked salmon, drizzling with Tzatziki sauce.
