What you need for the rice bowls:

These are our favorites, but you are more than welcome to consider other options and variations.

Minute® White Rice: grab a package at Kroger in the rice aisle or we love to do the pick up and even Kroger delivery these days because shopping with a toddler is not the easiest! We also find it extra safe given the times we are in even moving through this pandemic life.
tomatoes: I opt for cherry or grape. Fresh from the garden as well when they are in season!
cucumbers: baby cucumbers or English are our preference. They don't have all the large seeds and I find the flavor of both to be so much better.
red onion: I skip this for my husband as he is not a fan.
kalamata olives: from the olive bar or straight from the jar--both are great!
feta: I love getting a block of feta and crumbling it fresh. Not always an option, but great if you can!
tzatziki: this is my favorite condiment. Easy to grab ready to go at the grocery, or feel free to toss your own together!

We also ALWAYS serve these Greek Salmon Rice Bowls with fresh pita bread. This

How to make this recipe:

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.

Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon filets. You can chill for up to 30 minutes if desired before placing them on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake the salmon for about 15 minutes or until opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F.

While the salmon is baking, prep the Minute® Rice and all of the ingredients for the bowls.

You can prepare your rice stove top or in the microwave. I switch it up, but more often, opt for stove top.

Boil the water, add the rice and then remove from heat and cover. Let the rice do the work! It will absorb the water and be ready to go in 5 minutes!

Assemble your rice bowls. This is the fun part! Everyone can customize their bowls so that means no one will walk away from the dinner table unsatisfied.

Recipe Notes and Tips:

The toppings for these Greek Salmon Rice Bowls can certainly be adjusted. I added the approximate amounts that we use for things like cucumbers, tzatziki, tomatoes and other toppings. Please use the amount you prefer!
These can easily be meal prepped. If you love prepping your meals ahead of time, you can certainly prep these rice bowls in advance and eat them throughout the week.
Toss the cucumber, onion and tomatoes in a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper for even more flavor. When I have the extra time, I like to prep the veggies ahead of time and then toss them in olive oil and add a bit of flavor. Sometimes I like to add a touch of garlic as well.
