Equipment

Ingredients

For the Salmon

  • 32 ounces wild caught salmon
  • 2 tablespoons garlic paste
  • Seasoning of choice Kinder's makes a good fish seasoning I like

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup rice I like jasmine or basmati
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • bay leaf

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 113g
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber 130g
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • 1 clove garlic minced

For the Veggies:

  • 2 roma tomatoes diced (240g)
  • 1 small red onion 100g
  • 1 cucumber 175g
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • For the Salmon:

Instructions

  • Rinse your rice well and put in a rice cooker (or cook over the stove) along with all remaining ingredients.
  • Preheat your oven or grill to 350 degrees.
  • Place salmon in a large piece of aluminum foil or on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and coat with the garlic paste and some seasoning.
  • Enclose the salmon in the foil (optional) and place your thermometer in the center of the salmon. Cook until It reaches 140 degrees or is flaky when pulled apart with a fork.
  • Dice your veggies and top with lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Put all your tzatziki sauce ingredients in a small bowl or jar (squeeze the water out of the cucumbers as best you can) and mix well.
  • Assemble each bowl with 3 ounces of cooked rice, 1/5 of the diced veggies, 5 ounces salmon, 6 grams of feta, 15g olives, and 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce (you might want to pack this in a small container to avoid reheating it).
  • Reheat in the microwave each day 2-3 minutes.
