Nutty Salmon Sesame Bowl - An easy healthy dinner recipe!

So if you have been following me for awhile, you know I love salmon! 90% of the time, I simply brush it with either extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil, top with seasoning, and broil for 8-10 minutes.

Sometimes I make a sauce, sometimes I don't. I serve it with 1 or 2 veggies, and I have a quick, AMAZING, healthy, dinner in less than 30 minutes. It's hard to mess up or go wrong with that, so I rarely deviate. Click Here for my go-to Salmon Recipe!

An added bonus - I almost always have leftovers, so it turns into a second or third healthy meal that requires even less thought and effort - win, win, win!

Leftover ideas - chopped salmon salad, layered it over greens or veggies, scrambled with veggies, or...in a nutty asian sesame bow like this one. SO. GOOD. GUYS.

Recipe Instructions

1. Mix Sauce ingredients

2. Cook the salmon. pat salmon dry with paper towel and cut into pieces of equal thickness. Brush salmon with coconut oil, season with pink salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder,and drizzle coconut aminos over the top. Broil for 8-10 minutes at top or second from top shelf in oven. If you have very thin pieces, they may be done a 5-6 minutes, so keep a close eye on them! I like my salmon medium - so I take it out when it very easily flakes with a fork or reaches about 120 internally.

3. Spiralize Zucchini and squash. (This spiralizer is great and affordable!) Lightly salt and let sit in bowl

4. Sauté the red bell pepper, onion, mushrooms and garlic in water or chicken broth until softened. While veggies are sautéing, drain water from zucchini/squash noodles and squeeze in paper towel. Set aside.

5. Once veggies are softened, add sugar snap peas. Cook for a few minutes until heated through.

6. Add zucchini/squash to pan with veggies, and season with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and 1 T. coconut oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.

7. Add sauce to pan with veggies, reserving a tiny amount to pour over salmon.

8. Take salmon out of oven, shred or leave in filet form, and serve over the zoodle / veggie mixture.

9. Top with reserved sauce, sesame seeds and cilantro.
