Spicy Peanut Salmon Bowls with Coconut Rice

A vibrant and flavorful meal packed with protein and healthy fats.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 avocado, diced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the peanut sauce over the salmon, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the salmon is baking, prepare the coconut rice: Combine the cooked white rice and coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until heated through.
  6. To serve, divide the coconut rice among bowls. Top with the cooked salmon, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice.
