My Super Simple Salmon Poke Bowl for Easy Meal Prep
What's up, everybody? I have another really simple meal prep idea for you that has been a lifesaver during my busy weeks. I like to make these salmon poke bowls because they're incredibly easy, and there is almost no cooking. You are just preparing fresh ingredients.
If you want a healthy lunch that you can get ready in advance without spending a ton of time in the kitchen, this is the recipe for you. It is all about a fresh slaw, high quality salmon, and some beautiful greens.
Ingredients
| Amount | For the Slaw |
|---|---|
| 1/4 head | Cabbage (red or green) |
| 2 | Carrots |
| 1/2 | Onion (red or white) |
| Drizzle | Red Wine Vinegar |
| Drizzle | Oil (Olive oil or another favorite) |
| Handful | Fresh Parsley |
| To taste | Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder |
| Amount | For the Bowl |
| 1 package | Organic Baby Spring Mix |
| 1 package | High Quality Smoked Salmon |
| 1/2 | Cucumber (for topping) |
| 1/2 | Avocado (for topping) |
| Optional | Your favorite dressing for serving |
Instructions
Make the Slaw: First, prepare the slaw, which will last you a few days in the fridge. Finely dice your carrots, onions, and cabbage. If you have a machine or a food processor to shred them, it will definitely be much easier, but a knife works just fine.
Dress the Slaw: Put all your chopped veggies in a bowl. Drizzle in some red wine vinegar and your oil of choice. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little fresh parsley.
Season Generously: Do not be shy with the salt. The salt will help preserve the slaw and keep it crisp, especially since you are making this for meal prep. A generous pinch is key. Give it a good mix, and you can store this in an airtight container for about three to four days.
Assemble Your Bowl: When you are ready to eat, start with a big handful of the organic baby spring mix as your base. This stuff is full of all those beautiful greens your body needs.
Add the Good Stuff: Top the greens with a few slices of high quality smoked salmon. Trust me, getting the good stuff makes a huge difference in taste compared to the cheaper options. Add a big spoonful of your prepared slaw right on top.
Finish with Fresh Toppings: Right before you eat, slice up some fresh cucumber and avocado to add to your bowl. I do this the morning of, or right before lunch, so they stay fresh and do not get brown or mushy. If you like, you can add a little bit of your favorite dressing on the side.
A Healthy Meal Ready to Go
And that is it. You have a delicious, incredibly healthy meal that’s ready in minutes. It is the perfect way to stay on track during a busy week without getting bored. The combination of the fresh greens, savory salmon, and crunchy slaw is just fantastic.
