The best dishes in my kitchen often come together on the fly. Today I'm sharing my favorite salmon bowl that gets me excited every single day. You just can't beat the mix of juicy salmon, fragrant basmati rice and crunchy veggies. It's food that tastes amazing and looks fantastic too.
A Bowl Full of Joy
What I really dig about this bowl is how versatile it is. The crispy fried salmon works so well with the warm rice. Then you've got refreshing cucumber and creamy avocado. My secret weapon? Pomegranate seeds that add a fruity twist to any bowl. The homemade dressing ties everything together into one tasty experience.
What Goes In My Go-To Bowl
- Salmon: 200g fresh fillet from my trusted fish vendor.
- Rice: 150g basmati, always cooked with a pinch of sea salt.
- Cucumber: One fresh and crisp, cut into thin slices.
- Avocado: Half a ripe one, cut into pretty strips.
- Pomegranate seeds: A handful for that special zing.
- Dressing: Made with creamy yogurt, a spoon of honey, fresh lemon, salt and pepper.

Creating My Bowl
- The Rice
- First I cook the basmati rice. I let the salted water bubble away until the rice turns out perfect.
- The Salmon
- I season it with salt and pepper. In a hot pan, it gets a crispy outside while staying juicy inside.
- The Veggies
- I cut the cucumber into thin slices and the avocado into soft strips.
- The Dressing
- I mix yogurt, honey and lemon into a creamy sauce.
- The Bowl
- Everything goes into the bowl in layers. Rice first, then salmon, veggies and finally the pomegranate seeds on top.
A Treat For Your Senses
My salmon bowl always turns out like a little work of art. The colors look so inviting – the lush green avocado, ruby-red pomegranate seeds and tender salmon. I can't wait for that first bite even while I'm putting it all together.
Ways To Switch It Up
The cool thing about this bowl is you can keep changing it. Sometimes I throw in crunchy carrot strips, sometimes roasted almonds. I like to play around with fresh herbs from my garden in the dressing. Every version tastes different and makes me want to try more combos.
Works For Any Occasion
This bowl follows me throughout my day. It's great as a light lunch at work, a relaxed dinner, or when friends drop by without warning. It always looks good and everyone loves it because it fills you up without weighing you down.

Nourishing Body And Mind
What I really value about this bowl is how balanced it is. The salmon gives me important omega-3 fats, the avocado healthy fats, and the fresh veggies load me up with vitamins. It's food that's good for me and brings me real joy.
Keeping Everything Fresh
When I have leftovers, I store each part separately. The dressing goes in its own little jar, and everything else in airtight containers. This way I can make a new bowl the next day that tastes just as fresh as the first one.
My Top Bowl Tricks
I've learned a few tricks over time. The salmon should be really fresh – that makes the biggest difference. For rice, I swear by basmati or jasmine because of their delicate flavor. I only cut the avocado right before serving so it stays nice and green. I often make extra dressing in advance to speed things up even more.
Enjoy With A Clear Conscience
I always look for sustainably caught salmon at my fish shop. I prefer buying veggies at the weekly market where I know where they come from. All my storage containers are reusable, and I use up any leftovers the next day. This makes cooking fun and eco-friendly too.
