Lemon Dill Salmon Bowl: A Wholesome Buddha Bowl Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown rice (cooked)
• 1 salmon fillet (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 1/4 cup spinach (fresh)
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1/4 avocado (sliced)
• 2 tbsp lemon dill sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 lemon wedge (for garnish)
• Optional: Coconut bowls for serving

Directions:

Simple Directions:

1. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
2. Pan-sear or bake the salmon fillet until fully cooked.
3. Assemble the bowl: Add brown rice as the base, then layer with spinach, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and cooked salmon.
4. Drizzle with lemon dill sauce and garnish with a lemon wedge. Serve and enjoy!

Expanded Directions:

1. Prepare the Brown Rice:
   Start by cooking 1 cup of brown rice according to the package instructions. This will take about 25-30 minutes, so you can prepare the other ingredients while it cooks. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.
2. Cook the Salmon:
   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season your salmon fillet with salt and pepper (and a touch of olive oil if desired).

• Pan-Searing: Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
• Baking: Place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness.

1. Prepare Fresh Ingredients:
   While the salmon cooks, wash and dry the spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes. Halve the cherry tomatoes for easier eating. Slice 1/4 of an avocado into thin slices for a creamy texture.
2. Assemble Your Bowl:
   In a coconut bowl (or any bowl of your choice), add the cooked brown rice as the base. Arrange the fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices around the edges of the bowl. Place the cooked salmon fillet in the center.
3. Add Flavorful Finishing Touches:
   Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon dill sauce over the salmon and vegetables for a burst of flavor. Garnish with a fresh lemon wedge for an extra zesty kick.
4. Serve and Savor:
   Grab your fork, dig in, and enjoy this wholesome Lemon Dill Salmon Bowl!
