🥗 High-Protein Salmon Power Bowl — Fuel Up Fast
If you’re looking for a protein-packed meal that’s both clean and full of flavor, this High-Protein Salmon Power Bowl is the ultimate go-to. 💪 It’s loaded with fresh veggies, tender salmon bites, and a creamy spicy lime sriracha sauce that ties everything together.
Whether you’re refueling post-workout or meal-prepping for the week, this bowl hits all the right notes — high in protein, low in carbs, and bursting with freshness.
🐟 Why You’ll Love This Bowl
- 66g of protein (or ~50g per serving for 4 bowls)
- Ready in under 30 minutes — perfect for weeknights
- Customizable with your favorite base (rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
- The spicy lime dressing brings everything to life 🌶️
🔥 Cooking the Salmon
Seasoned with Dijon, Aleppo pepper, and chili-lime spice, the salmon gets a beautiful sear that’s crisp outside and tender inside. Don’t overcook — just 1.5 to 2 minutes per side is enough to keep it juicy.
The mix of Dijon and garlic powder helps build flavor depth while keeping it light. For extra heat, toss in a pinch more cayenne. 🌶️
🥬 Building the Perfect Bowl
Each component adds balance — crunchy cucumber and jalapeño, creamy avocado, and a fluffy base like low-carb rice or quinoa.
For meal prep, layer the rice and salmon first, then top with veggies and sauce right before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.
🌶️ The Spicy Lime Sauce
The sauce is what makes this bowl crave-worthy. A quick mix of mayo (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, rice vinegar, and sriracha gives that creamy-tangy-spicy trifecta. Adjust the spice to your preference — a little more sriracha if you love heat, or extra lime for brightness. 🍋
💡 Tip: Chill the sauce for 10 minutes before drizzling — it thickens slightly and adds a silky, cool contrast to the warm salmon.
🍽️ Assembling Your Power Bowl
- Start with a scoop of rice, quinoa, or your chosen base.
- Add chopped lettuce, cucumber, and jalapeño.
- Layer on your golden salmon chunks.
- Drizzle with the spicy lime sauce.
- Finish with creamy avocado slices for that perfect bite. 🥑
Serve immediately, or pack into containers for easy, macro-friendly meal prep through the week.
