Step 1

You'll want to start by cooking your grains because that will take the longest. Follow any box instructions to boil your orzo pasta, until al dente. You can dice and slice any vegetables while waiting, keep cool and set aside while other items are cooking.

Step 2

Dice the salmon or protein of choice into medium large chunks, and place in a medium size bowl. Coat protein with salt and pepper to taste, 2 tsp of paprika, 1 tbsp dried thyme, tbsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Massage seasoning onto meat to ensure full coating.

Step 3

Place a Saute Pan on medium high heat and add salmon chunks, turning occasionally on each side to ensure cooked to preferred temperature. For Medium well you only need about 3-5 minutes total. For other proteins suck as chicken or tofu it may take longer and should ensure that any raw meats are cooked properly.

Step 4

Once Your orzo is finished remove from boil, drain, and toss one tbs of olive oil, salt to taste, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, and 1 tbsp of fresh chopped parsley.

Step 5

Now its time to create your bowl. Simply start by creating your base with the orzo pasta or your grain of choice, next add the vegetables, diced cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onions, a few spinach leaves, and any other vegetables you might want to include. Next Layer with your salmon or protein of choice. You can top with feta cheese and olives if you like, and finish with a dollup of your favorite hummus and tzatziki!
