Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets, cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 boiled eggs, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the cubed salmon in a bowl and season with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
- Toss gently until the salmon is evenly coated and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the salmon cubes for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper for 4–5 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- Divide the arugula between two serving bowls.
- Arrange the avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs, and mushrooms around each bowl.
- Top with the cooked salmon bites.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the bowls.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on top before serving.
Notes
- Frozen salmon can be used if fully thawed and patted dry first.
- Spinach, kale, or mixed greens can replace arugula.
- Add quinoa or brown rice for a heartier bowl.
- Store avocado separately for meal prep to prevent browning.
- Reheat salmon gently to avoid drying it out.
- This bowl can also be enjoyed cold.
- Top with seeds or hummus for extra texture and flavor.
