Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Bowl

  • Two 5 oz salmon fillets
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup purple cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 cups of mixed greens or baby spinach 
  • OPTIONAL: pickled red onions 

Salmon Marinade

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp raw honey 

Cashew Sriracha Sauce

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in 1 1/2 cups warm water for at least 4 hours
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos 
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more if you like it spicier)
  • 3/4 cup warm water, or plain unsweetened cashew milk

Instructions

Advance Prep Work

  1. Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Marinate the salmon for at least 2 hours for the best flavor. 
  2. Soak the cashews in warm water overnight or for at least 4 hours. If you are short on time, boil 1 1/2 cups of water and soak cashews for at least 30 minutes. 
  3. Chop the vegetables for the salmon bowl.

Make the Cashew Cream

  1. Drain the water from the cashews.
  2. In a high-speed blender, add new water or the cashew milk and the garlic, sriracha and coconut aminos and blend until it reaches a creamy consistency. 

Prep the Bowls

  1. Preheat the over to 425 degrees.
  2. Bake the salmon for about 7 minutes and then broil for another minute. For best results, use a meat thermometer and remove from oven when salmon reaches about 130 degrees (the salmon will keep cooking when you remove it from the over).
  3. While the salmon is cooking, assemble the bowls with all of the ingredients and top with salmon when done cooking.
