Ingredients

Servings

• Salmon
• Brown Rice
• Edamame
• Avocado
• Cucumber
• Seaweed Sheets
• Green Onions
• Jalapenos
• Sesame Seeds
• Salmon Marinade (avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper)

Instructions

1. Start by cooking your brown rice by adding 1 part rice, and 2 parts water. Cook the rice on medium-high heat until most of the water has evaporated.

2. Lower the heat, cover the pot and let the rice cook until tender. If you feel like the rice is too hard or you like your rice to be extra soft, add more water at the beginning or while the rice is cooking. Your rice should be ready within 30 minutes.

3. While the rice is cooking, cook the salmon. Cube your salmon, and marinate the salmon by adding avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and salt.

   

4. Mix everything well and transfer the marinated salmon cubes to a hot skillet. Flip the salmon cubes after a few minutes and let both sides cook equally.

   
   The salmon cubes will cook quickly.  Be sure to take them off the heat so they stay soft and juicy. 

5. The toppings can be prepared while the rice and salmon are cooking. Once everything is cooked, start assembling your plate.

   

6. To my rice and salmon, I added avocado slices, cucumber, shelled edamame, seaweed sheets, jalapenos, green onion, and black sesame seeds.

7. Again, the possibilities are endless when it comes to building your dream salmon bowl! Add all your favorite flavors, colors, and enjoy.
