Making the Healthy Mediterranean Salmon Bowl can be achieved effortlessly by following these steps:

1. Prepare Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

2. Season the Salmon: While the quinoa cooks, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

3. Cook Salmon: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Chop the Vegetables: While the salmon cooks, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.

5. Mix the Bowl: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and spinach or arugula. Drizzle with lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss gently to mix.

6. Flake the Salmon: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat, and use a fork to flake it into bite-sized pieces.

7. Assemble: Divide the quinoa and vegetable mix among serving bowls. Top with the flaked salmon and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

8. Serve: Drizzle a bit more olive oil and lemon juice over the top if desired, and enjoy your delicious bowl!
