Ingredients

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 Tbsp honey

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

• 1 tsp sriracha

For the Salmon Bites:

• 1 lb salmon filet, chopped into bite-sized chunks

• 1/4 cup coconut aminos (a gut-friendly soy sauce alternative)

• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 2 large cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp sriracha (optional for extra spice)

• 1 Tbsp avocado oil for cooking

For the Bowls:

• 1/2 cup dry rice, cooked with 1 cup bone broth

• 1 large head broccoli, chopped into florets

• 1 large ripe avocado, sliced (optional)

• A handful of microgreens

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Salmon

1. In a bowl, combine coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using).

2. Add the chopped salmon bites to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the fridge).

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

1. Cook 1/2 cup dry rice in 1 cup of bone broth for an extra nutrient boost. Fluff and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Bang Bang Sauce

1. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, red pepper flakes, and sriracha. Set aside for drizzling.

Step 4: Cook the Salmon

1. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

2. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

3. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer with the salmon for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the salmon.

Step 5: Steam the Broccoli

1. While the salmon cooks, steam broccoli florets until tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Assemble the Bowls

1. Divide the cooked rice into two bowls.

2. Top with salmon bites, steamed broccoli, avocado slices (if using), and microgreens.

3. Drizzle the Bang Bang Sauce generously over the top.
