So fresh and so yum yum!
The most delish Mediterranean Salmon bowls! ?? Lemon greek marinated Salmon, loaded with quinoa, cute cucumber rolls, tomatoes, fresh herbs, tzatziki and feta cheese.
It may be mid-august and the fall-loving basic b that I am is wishing for the cooler season BUT it’s still SUMMER YO! As much as my soul wants to kick summer to the curb, I simply can’t ignore the sunshine and the bounty of fresh produce at our local farmer’s markets- which truthfully, I really do love and will miss. So, we’re giving it a final push on summer dishes before it’s time to welcome ghosts, gourds and goblins. Let’s jump to this recipe before I start typing out an ode to Fall…
In full transparency, this was a sponsored post with Krinos on Instagram, but I felt like it deserved a permanent home here on the blog.
Mediterranean Salmon Bowls
Three words to describe this bowl:
F R E S H: Local fresh ingredients! I love having wild salmon but you can replace it with any other fish if you’d prefer.
P O W E R F U L L: Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acid, Protein and all kinds of vitamins, this is one heck on a Mediterranean power bowl!
and M E D I T E R R A N E A N – Y
Ok, so that last one isn’t a real word, but Mediterranean flavours are beyond delish. Nothing truly screams a summer dish more than feeling like you’re being transported to Greece with their fresh and delish flavours! P.s. as I typed that last sentence, I totally wished that could legit happen. Taking a bite into food and instantly being transported to a country that inspired those flavours. That would be the dream! I digress…Back to the Mediterranean Salmon Bowls.
