Let’s talk about this heart-healthy dinner recipe you’ll want to make time and time again. I love the combo of flavors in this bowl – from sweet and savory to crunchy and fresh. This meal is really simple and tastes like something you could eat over and over again!

This bowl isn’t only tasty but it’s a very wholesome lunch or dinner option. Lean, protein-packed salmon and brown rice are the base here but my favorite part is loading it up with lots of fresh veggies, like roasted brussels sprouts and cabbage salad. However this dish is customizable that you can load it with any other favorite toppings or sides.

Salmon, a superfood

Salmon is loaded with nutrients that supports many functions in our body. One thing to keep in mind when eating salmon is trying to eat it wild caught if possible. This one has a higher level in vitamins and minerals. Here are some reasons why salmon is a good protein choice:

• Excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids which support brain, heart, and eye health.
• Great source of protein to support building and maintenance of lean muscle.
• Excellent source of vitamin B12 which is essential for metabolism, healthy nerves, and blood cells.
• Rich source of vitamin D. Salmon is one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D making it a smart choice for the winter months and those who live in northern latitudes or limit their exposure to the sun. 
• Good source of vitamin B6 which is essential for properly functioning nervous and immune systems.

Simple steps to make Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

Start out preparing the brown rice. While the brown rice cooks, I make the freshest and colorful salad with red cabbage, carrots, celery, white onion and mayo that is made with avocado oil. I also pair this bowl with roasted brussels sprouts, that I love.

Then I cook the salmon on a skillet with a mix of Teriyaki sauce (low in sodium, soy free and gluten-free), rice vinegar, avocado oil, honey, fresh lemon juice, sesame oil, salt and black pepper, fresh garlic and ginger. The honey will add subtle sweetness to the tangy sauce.

Assemble

Now, it’s time for the fun part. Bowl assembly! Once the rice is cooked. (Of course quinoa, farro ,couscous or any other grain will work too). Then layer or place like sides everything: brown rice, salmon, cabbage salad, roasted brussels sprouts and sprinkle some sesame seeds over the salmon.

Totally delicious, loaded with flavor and packed full of heart-healthy ingredients, perfect for any time meal!

Could you add other veggies and things to the bowl. ABSOLUTLY! I mean, that’s the whole point of bowls!

You’ll like every bit of it. It’s finger-lickin’ good! Enjoy it, friends!🌞

Notes

How to tell when the salmon is done: “Salmon will change from translucent (red or raw) to opaque (pink) as it cooks. After 6-8 minutes of cooking, check for doneness, by taking a sharp knife to peek into the thickest part. If the meat is beginning to flake, but still has a little translucency in the middle, it is done.

What else does this salmon go with: You can also add any other vegetables you like to build out your bowls (totally optional).

Teriyaki Sauce: I prefer to use one made with coco aminos. The rates of sodium are lower comparing to regular ones and it is free from soy and gluten-free.
