How to Prepare

Start with a base of rice, which provides a steady source of energy, keeping you fueled throughout the day. The star of the bowl is salmon, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein. Salmon supports heart health, brain function, and helps maintain muscle mass, making it a perfect protein choice. In addition, edamame beans offer plant-based protein and fiber, contributing to the bowl's balanced nutrition profile.

For healthy fats, avocado slices add a creamy texture, while the salmon itself provides essential fats that help you stay full longer. Adding fiber-rich vegetables like cucumber and carrot further enhances satiety, promoting digestive health and keeping hunger at bay. These fresh, crunchy veggies also add color and flavor to the bowl, making it visually appealing and more enjoyable to eat.

To elevate the flavor, this recipe includes fun additions like dried seaweed and kimchi, which bring a mix of salty, umami, and tangy notes. For the finishing touch, sauces like soy sauce, sriracha, and Kewpie mayonnaise provide a burst of savory goodness, tying the whole dish together.
