What You Will Need
- fresh salmon – we love picking up fresh salmon at our local grocery store, but feel free to use frozen salmon too. Just make sure you full thaw them or add to the total cook time.
- olive oil – rub on the salmon to keep them moist and roast to perfection.
- kosher salt – a simple seasoning that is always a must!
- butter – just a little bit on top of each piece of salmon for that buttery goodness.
- broccoli, red pepper, & purple cabbage – some of our favorite fresh veggies, but feel free to use any fresh or frozen vegetables that you have on hand.
- avocado – everything is always better with some fresh avocado in the mix.
- wild rice – the base of this rice bowl, but can easily be substituted with white rice, brown rice, etc.
How To Make A Salmon Power Bowl
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to prep the salmon by rubbing with olive oil and sprinkling on the salt. Place them on one side of a foil-lined baking sheet (parchment paper would work too) and bake at 450 degrees for about 4 minutes. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, broccoli, and red pepper in olive oil and salt. Add the prepped veggies to the other side of the sheet pan and return to the oven for an additional 6-8 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temp of 145 degrees F at the thickest part.
Place your desired amount of cooked rice in the bottom of a bowl and add the salmon and roasted veggies on top. Add a generous scoop of the mashed avocado and enjoy!
Variations
We absolutely love this simple recipe card as written, but you can easily switch some things up. Other fresh veggies that we love in this bowl are carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. You may need to adjust cooking time depending on what you use. And after it has all cooked, feel free to top with sesame seeds, green onions, edamame, or any other favorites!

Description
A nutrient-packed recipe for a Salmon Power Bowl. Cook everything on one sheet pan for the perfect weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- (2) 4-6 ounce salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 cups purple cabbage, roughly chopped and packed
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red pepper, cut into slices
- 1 avocado, roughly mashed
- 3 cups long grain wild rice*, cooked per package instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Salmon: Rub each salmon fillet (leave the skin-on) with about a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and place a 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each. Make sure they are both off to one side of the pan as you will be placing your vegetables on the same sheet. Bake in the oven for 4 minutes.
- Veggies: Put the prepped cabbage, broccoli, and red pepper in a medium bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on them and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Toss to coat.
- Baking: After the salmon has baked for about 4 minutes, add the prepped veggies to the other side of the sheet pan. Return to the oven to continue cooking for about 6 minutes. Total cook time will depend on how thick the salmon is (the internal temperature at the thickest part of the salmon should reach 145 degrees F, use a meat thermometer).
- If you feel like they salmon still needs a little bake time, put in under the broiler for 2-3 minutes (with the veggies too).
- Assemble Bowl: To serve, place your desired amount of wild rice in a shallow bowl. Place salmon and veggies on top of wild rice and top with avocado. Enjoy!
Notes
- *Rice: we love wild rice, but feel free to use any of your favorite varieties of rice.
