Looking for a new lunch or dinner idea? This zesty orange salmon bowl is the perfect combination of sweet and savory to satisfy your taste buds! With the savory kick of salmon and soy sauce… the heat is tamed by sweet bursts of mango, creamy avocado and fresh edamame.
This is a go-to dish for me because I am a sushi lover. Not only this, but it requires no cooking… just preparation!
In my bowl, I used Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Smoked Salmon. I will link it at the bottom of this article if you are interested in trying it out! It comes pre-sliced and ready to eat. Since it is smoked, it is not raw. But this bowl also tastes delicious with oven-baked salmon! I was just in a ‘smoked salmon’ mood. 😊
By the bright colors of this dish, you can tell it is nutrient-dense, making it a great meal option. We have our salmon and edamame as a source of protein, avocado as a source of fat, and fluffy white rice as a source of carbohydrate. This balanced meal will help keep your energy levels sustained and your mind/body focused and sharp for whatever the day may bring to you.
Now, let’s get into it:
