- ½ red onion, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli or cauliflower florets
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:
Step 1: Prep & Roast the Veggies
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and broccoli on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Divide roasted veggies between two bowls. If using a base (like quinoa or greens), layer it underneath. Top each bowl with flaked smoked salmon, sliced avocado, and fresh herbs.
Step 3: Finish & Serve
Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of dressing, or a sprinkle of seasoning if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
