Salmon & Asparagus Meal Prep

Print Recipe

A vibrant and flavorful meal prep featuring roasted salmon and asparagus served over quinoa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 cups asparagus
  • 2 cups quinoa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze half of the lemon juice over the top. Chef Tip: For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle some garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Make it zesty: Slice the remaining lemon into thin rounds and lay them on top of the salmon.
  4. Toss the asparagus: Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. In a mixing bowl, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until coated.
  5. Arrange the asparagus around the salmon on the baking sheet.
  6. Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and asparagus is just tender.
  7. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions.
  8. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and season with salt and pepper, adding chopped herbs or lemon juice if desired.
  9. Build your meal prep bowls: Start with quinoa, add a salmon fillet, and pile on the roasted asparagus. Pro Tip: Drizzle with olive oil or tahini.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds or freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

These bowls stay fresh throughout the week and are perfect for on-the-go meals. Consider adding lemon wedges for extra citrus flavor.
