## **1. Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa**  


This recipe is a flavorful and nutritious meal perfect for lunch or dinner. The smoky, charred salmon pairs beautifully with the creamy, zesty avocado salsa.  


### **Ingredients:**  

**For the salmon:**  

- 2 salmon fillets  

- 1 tablespoon olive oil  

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder  

- 1 teaspoon paprika

2. **Grill the salmon** – Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and grill for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork.  

3. **Prepare the avocado salsa** – In a bowl, mix diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.

## **2. Spicy Salmon and Avocado Sushi Bowl**  


If you love sushi but don’t want to go through the hassle of rolling it, this sushi bowl is the perfect solution. It’s a deconstructed version with all the flavors you love, plus an added kick from spicy mayo.  


### **Ingredients:**  

**For the bowl:**  

- 2 salmon fillets, cooked or raw (sushi-grade)  

- 2 cups cooked sushi rice  

- 1 avocado, sliced  

- ½ cucumber, thinly sliced  

- ¼ cup shredded carrots  

- 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into small strips  

- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds  

- 2 green onions, chopped  

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce  

- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar  


**For the spicy mayo:**  

- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise  

- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce  

- ½ teaspoon soy sauce  


### **Instructions:**  


1. **Prepare the rice** – Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once done, mix with soy sauce and rice vinegar, then let it cool slightly.  

2. **Cook the salmon (if not using raw sushi-grade)** – If using cooked salmon, grill, pan-sear, or bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about 12 minutes, then flake it into bite-sized pieces. If using sushi-grade salmon, cut it into thin slices.  

3. **Assemble the bowl** – Divide the rice between two bowls. Top with salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, carrots, and nori strips.  

4. **Make the spicy mayo** – In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, and soy sauce. Drizzle over the bowl.

- Balanced meal with carbs, healthy fats, and protein
