Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. 
  2. Preheat oven to 375° F. And line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Combine all of the dried spices for the salmon in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly over the fillets along with salt and pepper. Place the salmon onto the baking sheet and bake for for 8-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 110-120° F. If the salmon fillets have skin on them, remove the skin after they have baked.
  4. While the salmon bakes, combine all of the ingredients for the Greek salad in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. 
  5. To make the tzatziki sauce, shred the cucumber on a box grater. Place it in a clean dish towel or paper towels. Squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can and then add it to a bowl along with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
  6. To assemble the bowls, add a 1/2 cup of rice (or however much you want) to a bowl. Top it with a salmon fillet, Greek salad, tzatziki sauce, and crumbled feta. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.
