Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (1.1 lb or about 500 grams), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- â…” teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup uncooked white rice (about 6 oz or 180 grams)
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ red onion, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (7–8 oz or about 220 grams)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ cup crumbled feta (3 oz or about 85–90 grams)
- Fresh parsley, oregano, or dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine salmon cubes with paprika, garlic powder, oregano, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups of water and a bit of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Chop cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper, and red onion. In a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.
- Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and arrange the marinated salmon in a single layer. Broil for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and slightly crispy.
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill, parsley, and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Divide rice among bowls. Top with salad and broiled salmon. Add dollops of herby yogurt sauce, sprinkle with crumbled feta, and garnish with extra herbs and a drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil.
