It’s time to entice you with a new Dinner Recipe that’s been on my mind for awhile.
I LOVE “Bowl-style Dinners” because you can make them your own by adding in any veggie bits, seeds, or greens that you have lying about and you really can’t go wrong.
Feel free to cook the salmon to your personal preference and modify the type of veggies and/or substitute the steamed beans with other veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or something else tantalizing!
While this recipe showcases salmon, you could absolutely use tofu as a substitute. I would suggest choosing a firm block, draining and marinating it in 2 Tbsp tamari + 1 Tbsp sesame oil, seasoned with fresh pepper - bake at 350F for about 20 mins (stirring halfway) and serve.
Sesame Ginger Salmon Bowls
Serves 4 - 6
1 large chunk of wild salmon - 6 - 8” in length
2 Tbsp coconut oil
Salt & Pepper
1 cup brown rice, soaked overnight, and cooked
1 bunch/package green beans, steamed al dente
4 cups baby spinach, loosely chopped
1 red or yellow pepper, sliced thin
1 cup purple cabbage, shredded/sliced as thin as you can get it
2 medium carrots, shredded
4 stalks of green onion, chopped
Fresh cilantro
Gomashio or toasted sesame seeds for serving
Sesame Ginger Dressing
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp tahini
1 large clove garlic, minced
1” fresh ginger, minced
½ tsp salt
Lots of fresh pepper
Preheat oven to 375F. Place salmon in an oven safe dish, drizzle with melted coconut oil and season with salt & pepper. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until cooked through to your personal preference.
Meanwhile, cook your rice and prepare all veggies.
For the dressing, combine all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.
To assemble bowls: Place a scoop of rice in each bowl, top with steamed beans, shredded/sliced vegetables, and some cooked salmon. Top each bowl with dressing, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.
