Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 2 pieces salmon fillets Fresh salmon is recommended.
  • 1 cup quinoa or brown rice Quinoa cooks faster than brown rice.
  • 1 cup mixed greens Spinach, arugula, or kale works well.
  • 1 pieces avocado, sliced Use ripe avocado for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For seasoning the salmon fillets.
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust quantity according to spice preference.
  • 1 pieces Juice of 1 lime Fresh lime juice is recommended.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Use to flavor the dish.

Optional Toppings

Instructions
 

Cooking the Base

  • Rinse the quinoa or brown rice under cold water. Cook according to package instructions—typically 15 minutes for quinoa and about 30-40 minutes for brown rice. Set aside.

Preparing the Salmon

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season each salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Place the prepared fillets on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables

  • While the salmon is baking, slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.

Making the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create the sauce.

Assembling the Bowl

  • Start with a base of quinoa or rice. Top with mixed greens, roasted salmon, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
  • Drizzle the sriracha-lime dressing over the top.

Garnishing

  • Finish your bowl with optional toppings like sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or lime wedges.

Notes

Choose the freshest salmon and produce for the best flavors. You can prepare the quinoa/rice and chop veggies a day in advance. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, ensuring the salmon stays moist.
