NOURISH BOWLS WITH WILD-CAUGHT SALMON

this dish (what I like to call “nourish bowls”) is a staple in our dinner rotation… we probably eat some variation of this meal at least once a week.

I always start with rice cooked in bone broth, and layer up the bowl with a combination roasted, raw, and fermented veggies, greens, and your choice of protein.

this variation includes wild-caught salmon from our friends at truLOCAL, leftover roasted brussels sprouts, shredded carrots, and organic sauerkraut to make it a well-balanced, nutritious and easy weeknight meal.

two simple substitutes I make in my every day cooking are to cook my rice in bone broth (adds a ton of nutrients, flavour, and protein… also makes for a great, gut-loving snack or side if your stomach is off), and to use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce or worchestershire sauce to keep things low-sodium and low-inflammatory.

we also priotitize eating organic/grass-fed/wild-caught/antibiotic-free meat and fish in our home – it’s made such a huge difference in our gut health, inflammation, and overall wellbeing.

we love truLOCAL because they have a greater selection of high-quality meats at a better price than we can get at our grocery store. and I love that most of the products are from farms that are just 30-60 minutes from our home! you can build your own truLOCAL box of high-quality, locally-sourced meats and fish here.

nourish bowls with wild-caught salmon

Serves 2

• 2x truLOCAL wild caught salmon filets
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos, plus more for dressing
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1.5 cups truLOCAL beef bone broth
• Toppings of choice: I used a combo of leftover roasted, raw, and fermented veggies and everything bagel seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Remove skin from salmon filets and cut into bite-sized pieces.  Marinate in coconut aminos, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes.

2. Add rice and bone broth to a pot and cook according to instructions on rice bag or box (you’re replacing the cooking water with bone broth).

3. Set air-fryer to high heat for 20 minutes and press start to pre-heat.  After 5 minutes, add salmon.  Cook for 5 minutes and then flip.  Cook for another 5-10 minutes until cooked through.

4. Assemble your bowls: add cooked rice and top with salmon and your toppings of choice.  Finish with a drizzle of coconut aminos.
