Description

This vibrant salmon bowl is a refreshing mix of seared salmon bites, juicy mango salsa, and creamy avocado served over a crunchy veggie base. It’s citrusy, fresh, and balanced with healthy fats and bright flavors. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and boneless

1 ripe mango, diced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 lime, juiced and zested

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 cup shredded red cabbage or microgreens

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Dice the mango into small cubes and place in a mixing bowl. Add chopped cilantro, salt, and zest plus juice from half a lime. Mix gently.

2. Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and a little lime zest. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon bites 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

4. Halve and slice the avocado into wedges.

5. In a serving bowl, add shredded red cabbage or greens as a base. Top with salmon bites, mango salsa, avocado slices, and a wedge of lime.

6. Finish by grating additional lime zest over the top before serving.

Notes

For extra caramelization, don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing salmon.

Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to maintain texture in the bowl.

Add jalapeño or chili flakes for a spicy kick if you like heat.
