Description
Buffalo Salmon Bowls are my twist on classic buffalo flavors—roasted salmon tossed in a tangy, creamy yogurt-hot sauce. Loaded with brown rice, fresh veggies, and a little feta, they’re flavorful, protein-packed, and ridiculously easy to throw together.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon and Sauce:
- 2 lbs Salmon, skin removed, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Hot Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
For the Bowl:
- 2 Cups, Cooked Brown Rice
- 1 Cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup Shredded Carrot
- 1 cup Edamame
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 4 Scallions, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the buffalo sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Coat the salmon: Place salmon cubes on the prepared sheet pan. Add 1/3 of the buffalo sauce and toss with a spatula to coat evenly.
- Roast the salmon: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through (145°F) with lightly browned, crispy edges.
- Prep the vegetables: While the salmon roasts, peel and slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and mince the scallions.
- Assemble the bowls: Add 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice to the bottom of each bowl. Top with 1/4 of the roasted salmon, then add vegetables as desired. Sprinkle 1–2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese over the top and drizzle with remaining buffalo sauce. Enjoy!
