Dinner in under 12 minutes!

⚡️You just need to keep healthy basics on hand and you can whip up a colorful bowl like this in no time.

There’s something simple and liberating about putting a few components into a bowl and calling it a meal. And while simple, there’s also limitless variety. Sauerkraut, nuts, seeds, a new sauce, diced mango, pickled onions… so many possibilities.

Basics for building a fast and nutrient-dense bowl:
🍣 Proteins- salmon, chicken, tofu
🍚 Frozen rice or quinoa and/or cauliflower rice
🥦 Pre-cut veggies
🌿 Flavor enhancers- Fresh herbs, limes, lemons, microgreens
🍋‍Tasty dressings like @primalkitchenfoods (I ❤️ the Cilantro Lime dressing)
Sauerkraut (always a good idea… your gut will thank you!)

✨I hope this inspires you that eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard. And it can taste good too ✨

Salmon Power Bowl

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 4 TBSP Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime dressing (~1 TBSP for each salmon fillet)
• 4 cups broccoli (I often buy the pre-cut broccoli florets as a time saver)
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 2 TBSP nutritional yeast (optional for a boost of cheesy flavor and a boost of B12)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups cooked brown rice (I use the frozen brown rice from TJs)

Optional toppers:

• 1 cup shelled edamame (for added fiber)
• 1 avocado, diced (for added fiber)
• Purple sauerkraut (for added gut microbiome support)
• Cilantro or microgreens (for a boost of polyphenols and flavor)
• Limes

Instructions:

1. Preheat air fryer (or oven) to 400 degrees. (If you don’t have an air fyer, the salmon bakes well in the oven at 400 degrees x ~10 mins).
2. Place the salmon skin side down in a glass pyrex dish. Top each salmon fillet with ~1 TBSP dressing.
3. Bake in the oven or air fryer x ~8-10 mins, or until the salmon is cooked through.
4. Fill a large skillet or pot with about ⅓-inch water. Pile the broccoli into the pan and add the lid. Set over high heat.
5. Cook the broccoli until it is vibrant green and just tender, about 5 minutes. Immediately drain the broccoli in a colander.
6. Add the broccoli back to the pan and toss with olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
7. Assemble your bowls by adding the rice, broccoli, avocado, and edamame (if using) around the bowl. Add the cooked salmon. Drizzle more dressing on top if desired. Top with sauerkraut, fresh herbs or microgreens, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!

My favorite wild-caught salmon is Alaska Fresh Seafood. It comes frozen, and because it’s frozen at peak freshness, it doesn’t taste fishy. You can order it online here.
