Instructions

  1. 01
    Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes, grape tomatoes, bell pepper, and broccoli with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  2. 02
    Roast the vegetables for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway, until caramelized and tender.
  3. 03
    While the veggies roast, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
  4. 04
    Rub chicken breasts and salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  5. 05
    In a bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, parsley, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined.
  6. 06
    Form the beef mixture into 8 small patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
  7. 07
    Grill chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reads 160°F. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest.
  8. 08
    Grill salmon fillets skin side down for 4 minutes, then flip and grill another 2 to 3 minutes until just opaque. Remove and let rest.
  9. 09
    Grill beef patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until fully cooked and lightly charred.
  10. 10
    Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine avocado, lemon juice and zest, Greek yogurt, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons water for a pourable consistency.
  11. 11
    Taste the avocado purée and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if desired.
  12. 12
    Slice the grilled chicken. In each bowl, arrange a bed of the roasted vegetables. Top with grilled chicken slices, a salmon fillet, and two beef patties. Drizzle generously with avocado purée and garnish with extra parsley.
