Ingredients (2 Servings)
1 cup cooked quinoa (fiber-rich, helps balance estrogen)
2, 4-6 oz salmon fillets
1 medium sweet potato, cubed
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
1 cup kale or spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of sea salt & black pepper
For the Tahini Dressing:
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
Directions
Prepare quinoa according to package instructions (about 15 minutes). Fluff with a fork.
Roast veggies: Toss sweet potato, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
Prepare salmon: While the veggies are roasting, season the salmon with lemon, garlic, and a touch of olive oil. Add to the oven with the veggies, roasting for 15-18 min, or until the salmon reaches an internal temp of 145°F.
Make dressing: Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, and water until smooth and creamy.
Assemble bowl: Layer quinoa at the base, add roasted veggies, fresh kale/spinach, salmon, and drizzle generously with tahini dressing.
Why It’s Fibroid-Friendly
Quinoa & leafy greens → fiber + magnesium to regulate estrogen levels.
Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale) → support liver detox & estrogen metabolism.
Turmeric & garlic → reduce inflammation.
Tahini (sesame seeds) → rich in lignans, which may help balance hormones naturally.
Why: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation and support hormone balance.
