Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 2 lemons, juiced
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound salmon
For the Bowls
- 1 head shedded dinosaur kale
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- ½ cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 Persian cucumbers, diced
- 1 cup tzatziki
- Homemade Pita Chips
- 1 recipe Lemon Vinaigrette
For the Lemon Vinaigrette
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- ½ cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
For the Salmon
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the lemon juice, ½ cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Add the salmon, zip the top of the bag and give it a quick shake to combine. Refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat a cast iron to medium high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy but not overcooked. Remove and set aside to rest.
For the Salad
- Transfer the salmon to a large bowl and toss to combine with the quinoa, parsley, mint, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and lemon vinaigrette. (to make the lemon vinaigrette, just whisk everything together)
- Divide the shredded kale amongst 2 bowls and top with a hefty portion of the salmon tomato mixture. Drizzle with tzatziki or serve it on the side. Also pita chips on the side.
Notes
- Usually it’s lamb but chicken, beef, or veal are very easy to come by when you’re traveling! Salmon Shawarma wouldn’t work on the traditional vertical spit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take those incredible ingredients from the marinade and turn it into a salad!!
