1. Cook the Quinoa:

Bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil in a medium pot.
Add the rinsed quinoa, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
2. Cook the Salmon:

Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, fresh dill, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Brush the salmon fillets with the lemon herb mixture and grill or pan-sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
3. Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
4. Assemble the Bowl:

Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls.
Top the quinoa with avocado slices, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach.
Add the grilled salmon fillets to each bowl and drizzle with the lemon herb dressing.
Garnish with fresh parsley and thinly sliced red onion, if desired.
Additional Tips:
Marinate the Salmon: For added flavor, marinate the salmon in the lemon herb mixture for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Meal Prep: Prepare the quinoa, vegetables, and dressing ahead of time. Grill the salmon fresh when you’re ready to eat.
Customize Your Bowl: Add extra toppings such as toasted nuts or seeds for an added crunch.
