Description
Healthy, customizable, and full of flavor—these Salmon Bowls blend Southern soul with global inspiration for a fresh, satisfying meal any time of day.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 cup cooked white rice
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
1/2 cup shredded carrots
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F or heat a skillet over medium-high.
2. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or smoked paprika.
3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or sear skin-side down in a skillet for 4–5 minutes per side.
4. While salmon cooks, prep your base (rice, cauliflower rice, or greens) and toppings.
5. Whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil; add a bit of honey for sweetness.
6. Arrange in a bowl: rice first, then sliced salmon, toppings, and drizzle that dressing generously.
Notes
Use brown rice, cauliflower rice, or greens as a base.
Add toppings like kimchi, pickled onions, jalapeños, or sriracha mayo.
Meal prep salmon and grains separately and assemble fresh throughout the week.
Try fusion versions like Korean, Hawaiian, or Southern-style bowls.
