Salmon Buddha Bowl
A delicious healthy superfood recipe loaded with umami flavors, spicy sriracha, sweet mango, rich salmon, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound salmon fillets (approx 1" thick, boneless)
- Course-grain salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1 mango (skinned and diced)
- ½ cup scallions (chopped)
- 4 to 6 ounces sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce (or, soy sauce, or coconut aminos)
- ½ cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- ⅛ cup sriracha sauce
- 2 avocados (sliced)
- 2 3.5 ounce sesame seaweed snack pack squares (or sushi seaweed sheets)
Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- In a 12" oven-proof skillet, pre-heat olive oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Place the salmon fillets into the skillet flesh side down, and sear 4 minutes per side or until done. The fish should just start to easily flake in the center.
- Let the salmon cool completely, remove any skin, then break into flakes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add quinoa, salmon, tamari sauce, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce. Mix until blended. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and additional sriracha, if needed.
- Serve the quinoa mixture in a bowl and surround it with mango, scallions, avocado slices, sugar snap peas, and seaweed squares.
- Optional: drizzle with yum yum sauce, soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce and garnish with black or white sesame seeds.
