Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this power-packed bowl:
-
1 salmon fillet (6–8 ounces), skin on or off
-
½ avocado, sliced
-
5–6 asparagus spears, trimmed
-
½ cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (shiitake, cremini, or your favorite)
-
¼ cup sauerkraut
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
Handful of mixed greens (optional, for serving)
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
-
Lemon wedge (for a finishing touch)
Instructions
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Slice the mushrooms. Halve and slice the avocado just before assembling to keep it fresh and creamy.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down (if using skin) and cook for about 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until the center is just opaque.
In the same skillet, add a touch more olive oil. Sauté the mushrooms until browned and tender, about 3–4 minutes. Add the asparagus spears and cook until they’re bright green and crisp-tender.
In a large bowl, create a base of mixed greens (optional) or directly layer the salmon, asparagus, mushrooms, avocado slices, and sauerkraut.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Cooking Note
• Crispy Skin Tip:
If you’re using skin-on salmon, be patient with the sear. Let it crisp without moving too much—this makes for an irresistible crunch!
• Avoid Overcooking:
Salmon is best when just cooked through—opaque but still juicy inside.
• Sauerkraut Power:
Raw sauerkraut adds gut-friendly probiotics and a tangy bite. Don’t skip it!
