Salmon Power Bowl
A nutrient-packed recipe for a Salmon Power Bowl. Cook everything on one sheet pan for the perfect weeknight dinner!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets 4-6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 1 tablespoon butter sub plant-based butter
- 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
- Prep: Preheat oven to 450℉.
- Salmon: Rub each salmon fillet (leave the skin-on) with about 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Place salmon on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and place a ½ tablespoon of butter on top of each. Make sure they are both off to one side of the pan as you will be placing the vegetables on the same sheet. Bake in the oven for 4 minutes.
- Veggies: Put the prepped cabbage, broccoli florets, and red pepper in a medium bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra virgin 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 the thickness of the salmon (the internal temperature at the thickest part of the salmon should reach 145℉, use a meat thermometer). If you feel like the 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. (My favorite way to make wild rice is this Instant Pot wild rice recipe).
- Storage: leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
