Description

Delicious and customizable salmon taco bowls combining protein, vegetables, grains, and sauce for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup pickled onions
  • 1/2 cup roasted corn
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook grains according to package instructions; fluff and season with salt and lime juice.
  2. Prepare dressings and salsas first to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Pat salmon dry, season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pan-sear the salmon in a medium-high heated skillet for 3-5 minutes skin-side down, then flip and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before flaking or slicing.
  6. Assemble the bowls by layering the base, vegetables, salmon, and topping with avocado, lime juice, and any dressing.
  7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and hot sauce as desired.

Notes

Keep dressings separate until serving to avoid sogginess. For a vegetarian option, use roasted chickpeas or tempeh.
