High-Protein Salmon Power Bowl 🥗—Fuel Up with 66g Protein!

A high-protein, low-carb salmon power bowl with spicy sriracha-lime sauce, crisp veggies, and fluffy rice or quinoa. Perfect for meal prep and post-workout fuel.

🥗 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

  1. Start with a scoop of rice, quinoa, or your chosen base.
  2. Add chopped lettuce, cucumber, and jalapeño.
  3. Layer on your golden salmon chunks.
  4. Drizzle with the spicy lime sauce.
  5. Finish with creamy avocado slices for that perfect bite. 🥑

Serve immediately, or pack into containers for easy, macro-friendly meal prep through the week.
