Salmon (desired amount of servings)
Desired seasonings – I like using garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
1 carrot, julienne
Rice, cooked
Red onion, sliced
⅓ cucumber, sliced
½ Avocado
Squeeze of lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: seaweed, soy sauce, ginger, and Sriracha for additional flavour and fun
Directions
- Season salmon with desired seasonings. I like to measure them with my heart and used garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 390 F.
- While salmon is cooking, peel and julienne 1 carrot (or simply buy matchstick carrots at the store). Slice desired amount of red onion. Peel and cut ⅓ cucumber (or keep the peel on if you are able to tolerate it).
- If you tolerate raw veggies well, enjoy them raw! If you are working on improving your tolerance to them, saute the carrots in olive oil over low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes (or until desired tenderness). Once they are almost done, add red onions and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Mash avocado and season with salt, pepper, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside to use as a topping for later.
- Warm up leftover rice. Add rice to plate, place an ice cube in the middle of the rice and cover with parchment paper or paper towel. Microwave for ~ 60 seconds.
- Once the salmon is done, add to rice and mash salmon over top of the rice. Top with soy sauce or coconut aminos, avocado mash, and veggies.
- Add additional seasonings like Sriracha, ginger, and/or seaweed if you enjoy them and tolerate them!
Notes
- Note: one of the reasons this recipe went viral is the way the creator cooked the leftover rice. Leftover rice is not absolutely needed for this recipe, but is an easy way to use up leftovers and boost the amount of resistant starch in your meal!
