Rice bowls are one of my favorite meal formats because you can combine veggies, a carb, and a protein of your choice. One of the most versatile, customizable meal types.
Salmon is an easy and delicious fish, so topped with a glaze of teriyaki sauce and paired with sesame spinach, these sides lie perfectly on a bed of warm rice. Avocado adds additional butteriness and healthy fats. This comes together in 10 minutes if your rice is already cooked, so having it prepped makes this meal a great weekday option.
