Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon filet
• 12 ounces broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked brown rice

Dressing:

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons chopped oregano

Toppings:

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Cook

Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon and broccoli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with fork and broccoli is tender around edges. Meanwhile, follow package directions for cooking the brown rice. For dressing, mix ingredients in a small bowl.

Serve

Divide the rice and salmon among four bowls. Arrange the broccoli, tomato, feta, and olives on top, drizzle with the dressing.

If you prefer a creamy dressing, top with tzatziki sauce.
