Ingredients

Scale

Brown Rice Salmon Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or chopped almonds (for crunch)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill

Herbed Tahini Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water (plus more to thin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or cilantro)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Prepare the herbed tahini dressing: Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, garlic, and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.
  3. Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, layer brown rice, shredded carrots, cucumber, cabbage, and avocado. Top with a salmon fillet, sprinkle with sesame seeds or almonds, and drizzle with the herbed tahini dressing.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use roasted chickpeas or crispy rice instead of seeds.
  • To make it vegan, substitute salmon with roasted tofu or tempeh.
  • The tahini dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
