What You’ll Need
- Fresh salmon fillet
- 1 hard ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado (sliced or cubed)
- Quinoa or brown rice (cooked)
- Cucumber, shredded red cabbage, red onion
- Fresh coriander
- Sesame-ginger dressing or spicy mayo
- Sesame seeds or nori for garnish
How to Make It
- Dice raw salmon into small cubes of about 1.5 cm if serving as a poke-style bowl, or cook the fillet first if you prefer it seared or baked. Prepare your base by cooking quinoa or brown rice and fluffing it, then slice the cucumber, shred the red cabbage and finely slice the red onion.
- Slice or cube the hard ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado and drizzle with lemon juice to preserve colour and add brightness. Assemble the bowl starting with a layer of quinoa or rice, then arrange vegetables, salmon and avocado neatly on top.
- Finish with a generous drizzle of sesame-ginger dressing or spicy mayo, sprinkle with sesame seeds or nori, and scatter fresh coriander leaves just before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Use hard ripe ÉVO® Hass avocado so cubes or slices keep their structure when tossed or layered in the bowl.
- Swap salmon for seared tuna, grilled prawns or marinated tofu if you want to vary the protein.
- Add extra vegetables like roasted sweet potato, pickled radish or leafy greens for more colour and nutrients.
- Experiment with sauces such as citrusy vinaigrettes, tahini-based dressings or soy-ginger glazes to shift the flavour profile.
- Serve with seasonal sides like roasted asparagus, a simple kale salad or a light miso broth, and pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or citrusy iced tea if desired.
Good For You
This salmon bowl brings together heart-healthy omega‑3 fats from salmon and monounsaturated fats from ÉVO® Hass avocado, a duo that can support cardiovascular and brain health while promoting satiety. Avocado also supplies fibre, potassium and vitamins such as K and E, while salmon contributes high‑quality protein and vitamin D, making the combination particularly nutrient-dense. The healthy fats in avocado help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients from salmon and vegetables more effectively, while the base of quinoa or brown rice plus fresh vegetables adds complex carbohydrates, antioxidants and fibre for sustained energy and overall wellness.
