Instructions
 

Prepare the glaze and salmon

  • In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce (or tamari), lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season lightly with pepper.
  • Pat salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Roast your veggies

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed squash or sliced zucchini with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread on a baking sheet and roast until tender and golden, about 20–25 minutes.

Cook the salmon

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place salmon flesh-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned.
  • Flip, reduce heat to medium, brush generously with the honey glaze, and cook another 3–4 minutes, spooning glaze over the fillets until cooked through and glossy.
  • Optionally, finish in a preheated 400°F oven for 6–8 minutes.

Assemble the bowl

  • Divide cooked grains between bowls.
  • Top with roasted vegetables and a handful of spinach.
  • Nestle the glazed salmon on top.
  • Drizzle any leftover glaze over the bowl, sprinkle with toasted seeds, and finish with parsley and a lemon wedge.

Notes

Use room-temperature salmon for even cooking. For a faster version, use pre-cooked grains and pre-roasted veggies. For creaminess, add yogurt or tahini.
