🐟 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.
