Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 1 cup mixed lettuce greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
– 1 small cucumber, diced
– 1 carrot, shredded or julienned
– 1 radish, thinly sliced
– 2-3 tablespoons sesame seeds
– 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Creating your own salmon bowls is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Grains: Begin by cooking quinoa or rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
2. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear them over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your liking.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon cooks, wash and chop the veggies. Slice the avocado, dice the cucumber, shred the carrot, and slice the radish.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey/maple syrup until evenly combined.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In a serving bowl, add a scoop of the cooked grains. Top with the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, mixed greens, cucumber, carrot, and radish.
6. Drizzle the Dressing: Pour your homemade dressing over the assembled bowl, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added crunch.
7. Garnish and Serve: Optional but highly recommended, garnish with additional vegetables or microgreens if desired. Enjoy your delicious salmon bowl right away!
