Ingredients

Rice Wine Syrup

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) brown sugar loosely packed

Salmon

  • 1 lb (500 g) fresh salmon cubed
  • 1 juice from 1 lime

Base

  • 1 avocado seeded & cubed
  • 1 lime 1/2 for juice, 1/2 for garnish
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) mixed bean medley drained & rinsed (yields 2 cups/500 mL cooked beans)
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked rice
  • 1 English cucumber sliced
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sriracha sauce
  • 4 Tbsp (60 mL) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • To make Rice Wine Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine rice wine vinegar and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Once sugar is dissolved, simmer for another 5 minutes to reduce. Remove syrup from heat and allow to cool.
  • Salmon Prep: Toss cubed salmon in juice from one lime. Place on parchment lined baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside until ready to plate.
  • Squeeze juice from 1/2 the lime onto the cubed avocado to prevent browning. Slice the remaining lime half into wedges and reserve for garnish.
  • In a medium bowl, toss bean medley in rice wine syrup and divide beans into 4 meal prep containers. Divide rice, cucumber, carrot and avocado between the 4 meal prep containers. Top each container with equal portions of the cooked salmon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish each meal with green onions, sriracha sauce, Greek yogurt, sesame seeds and lime wedges. Enjoy one of the meals now and cover and refrigerate the remaining containers for a fast, ready-to-eat lunch over the next 3 days!

tips

  • Personalize your bowl with toppings like fresh cilantro, lettuce and/or apple. There are endless flavour combos!
  • We used the mixed bean medley because is it a combination of beans and chickpeas, however, feel free to substitute with a can of your favourite pulse instead (chickpeas, black beans, cannellini beans, etc)!
