  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ avocado sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
  2. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, then roast for 12–15 minutes until flaky.
  3. While salmon cooks, prepare quinoa according to package directions and chop vegetables.
  4. Mix yogurt and lemon juice to make a simple dressing.

Notes

You can swap quinoa for brown rice or farro for a different texture. For extra gut-friendly fiber, add roasted sweet potato cubes or steamed broccoli. The yogurt dressing works just as well with lime juice if you prefer a zesty twist.
