Salmon Power Bowl
Here’s what you’ll need to create your Salmon Power Bowl:
- 1 grilled salmon fillet (about 6 oz)
- 2 soft-boiled eggs
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 cup steamed broccoli
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 cups fresh greens (such as spinach or mixed greens)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Your favorite dressing (such as sesame ginger or balsamic vinaigrette)
Directions
- Step 1: Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and flaky.
- Step 2: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the soft-boiled eggs. Place eggs in a pot of boiling water for 6-7 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
- Step 3: Steam the broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes, and slice the cherry tomatoes and red onion thinly.
- Step 4: In a large bowl, layer your fresh greens, steamed broccoli, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- Step 5: Place the grilled salmon on top and cut the soft-boiled eggs in half and place them on the bowl.
- Step 6: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and drizzle with your favorite dressing just before serving.
