Build yourself a healthy power bowl with crispy sweet potato, spicy shredded salmon, and creamy avocado!
Good news: You don’t need to turn on the oven to make this 30-minute bowl of goodness! You can cook everything right on the stovetop using two skillets, and if you time it right, you’ll have everything ready to go at the same time.
Since sweet potatoes take the longest to cook, get those going first. The smaller you dice them, the faster they’ll cook. We sliced our sweet potatoes into half inch cubes, which took about 20 minutes to fry in a bit of coconut oil.
While the sweet potatoes cook, get another skillet ready with a sweet-spicy base of onions, garlic and jalapeño. If you want yours less spicy, use half of a jalapeño, or leave it out altogether. Once the onions have softened a bit, add a salmon fillet, season with your favorite herbs, and cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway. Use a wooden spoon to break up the fish into smaller bites and continue to cook until flaky. Meanwhile, cut up an avocado.
When you’re ready to serve, divide the salmon, sweet potatoes, and avocado among two bowls. If you want yours extra spicy, add a spoonful of Paleo-approved green chili salsa!
Tip: You can customize your power bowl by topping yours with extra herbs, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, hemp seeds, or a lemon wedge!
