Recipe: Healthy Crispy Air-Fried Salmon Power Bowl
Written by: Arash Hashemi
This power bowl will keep you feeling satiated, focused, and ready to tackle just about anything in your afternoon! We start with a big dose of greens, top with a garlic-parmesan crusted salmon, some sautéed green beans, jammy soft boiled eggs, and some more veggies. It's low-carb, keto-friendly, and full of nutrients, it takes about 15 minutes to prepare and can be meal prepped in advance for delicious and healthy meals throughout the week.
Ingredients:
-
4-6 oz wild salmon
-
1 tsp mustard
-
1 1/2 tablespoon finely shredded parmesan
-
2 tsp crushed fried garlic (or garlic powder)
-
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
-
1 tsp lemon pepper
-
1 large pasture-raised egg
-
1-2 cups dark leafy greens (I used spinach)
-
Green beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, or other veggies of choice
Directions:
-
Coat a piece of salmon with 1 teaspoon mustard and then top with a garlic parmesan mixture. Make your garlic parmesan mixture by mixing 1 1/2 tablespoons finely shredded parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons crushed fried garlic (you can also sub in garlic powder instead), 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon lemon pepper. Put in the air fryer for 15 minutes, or alternatively, bake in the oven.
-
While the salmon is going, make your soft boiled egg. To make the egg, I bring water to a boil, boil the egg for six and a half minutes, then immediately put in a water ice bath for 2-3 minutes before slicing. If you prefer a firmer yolk, boil the egg for 7-8 minutes.
-
Now we are ready to plate everything. I always start my power bowls with a big base of dark leafy greens. For this dish, I used some organic baby spinach and arugula. I also added some sautéed green beans I had left over, but you can use any vegetable you prefer or already have on hand.
-
Put the salmon and egg over the veggies and serve with some local sliced cherry tomatoes and a little avocado.
-
Devour as is or add your favorite dressing. A good lemon vinaigrette or ranch would go so well with this.
