Ingredients:
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Avocado slices, a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
Instructions:
Get started: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the Salmon: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillet.
Cook the Eggs and Veggies: While the salmon is baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and red onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender-crisp. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty space and cook to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked broccoli and onion mixture between two bowls. Top with the cooked salmon fillet and fried eggs. Drizzle with lemon juice.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with avocado slices (if using) and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious and healthy meal!
Cooking Tips for Perfect Salmon and Eggs:
- Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Adjust cooking time: The cooking time for the salmon and vegetables may vary depending on your oven and stovetop. Adjust accordingly.
- Season generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Seasoning enhances the flavor of both the salmon and vegetables.
Variations:
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet with the vegetables for a spicy kick.
- Add more veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or asparagus.
- Different grains: Serve this power bowl over quinoa, brown rice, or couscous for a heartier meal.
