If you’re craving something fresh, light, and deeply nourishing, this Homemade Salmon Poke Bowl is a perfect choice. Featured in today’s Reel, it’s a simple way to enjoy a restaurant-style meal while fully supporting your health at home.
This bowl works so well because it brings balance to the plate:
-
🐟 Salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids that support brain health, reduce inflammation, and protect the heart
-
🥑 Avocado and sesame oil offer healthy fats that support hormones and satiety
-
🍚 Rice delivers steady energy without spikes when paired with protein and fats
-
🥒 Fresh vegetables add fiber, hydration, and essential micronutrients
The quick marinade—soy sauce, lime, garlic, sesame oil, and a touch of honey—enhances flavor without overpowering the salmon. Letting it sit for just a few minutes keeps everything light, clean, and easy to digest.
✨ Nutrition tip:
Eating fatty fish like salmon 2–3 times per week is linked to better heart health, reduced chronic inflammation, and improved cognitive function as we age.
This poke bowl is ideal for warm days, busy evenings, or when you want a meal that feels both comforting and energizing.
