High-protein meals don’t have to feel boring or repetitive if you are on a GLP-1. Try this flavorful, high-protein salmon rice bowl with 35 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber.
Salmon Marinade:
1 lb skinless salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp sriracha (optional, to taste)
For serving:
Steamed jasmine rice, sushi rice, or brown rice
Quick-pickled cucumbers
Shredded carrots or carrot ribbons
Shelled edamame
1/2 avocado, sliced
Spicy mayo
Furikake seasoning or sesame seeds
Seaweed sheets
Directions:
Toss the salmon with all the marinade ingredients and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Arrange salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 6 minutes, until cooked through and lightly caramelized.
Build your bowls with rice, salmon, veggies, avocado, and a drizzle of spicy mayo. Finish with furikake or sesame seeds.
Extra fun points for scooping it all up with seaweed sheets.
