How To Make Greek-Inspired Quinoa Salmon Meal Prep Bowls

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick better. Spread the honey mustard mixture evenly over each fillet, making sure they are well coated. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Finely chop the onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cucumber.

Rinse and cook according to package instructions. Fluff and let it cool.

In a large bowl, combine spring mix, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, onion, salt, pepper, oregano, and feta cheese.

Divide quinoa into containers, add the salad, and top with salmon. Please look at the recipe card below for a detailed recipe.

Commonly Asked Questions

How long does this meal prep last?
This meal prep will stay fresh for about 3-4 days when stored in airtight containers in the fridge. For best results, keep the dressing separate and add it right before eating to keep the greens fresh and crisp.

Can I use a different protein?
Yes! If you’re not a fan of salmon or want to switch things up, you can use grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or even boiled eggs. The recipe is very flexible and works well with different protein options.

Can I serve this warm or cold?
You can enjoy this salad both ways. It tastes refreshing when eaten cold straight from the fridge, but you can also slightly warm the quinoa and salmon if you prefer a warm meal.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, simply skip the feta cheese or replace it with a dairy-free alternative. The salad will still taste fresh and delicious without it.

Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water and bring to a boil.
