Sweet Cajun Salmon Bowls

Sweet Cajun Salmon Bowl + Mango Avocado Salsa

Incredible sweet cajun salmon bowls made with some fiery spices and a hint of sweetness. These bowls are served with a fresh mango avocado salsa that elevates this everyday bowl up a notch. The perfect recipe that can be reinvented in so many ways!

I really do love build-a-bowl meals. They are so versatile and make great meal prep options. Salmon is one food that is important to incorporate into your weekly meal rotation to get some omega-3 fats.

Sweet Cajun Salmon Bowls

Customize your bowl

  • I baked this salmon but you can just as easily pan sear it in a pan for a blackened salmon type dish or grill it on the BBQ.
  • Add your favourite veggies to the sheet pan. I added green beans this time, but you can add whatever veggies you like.
  • I topped this bowl with a mango avocado salsa but you can easily swap ingredients around. If mango isn’t your thing sub in pineapple instead.
  • I served this bowl with some cumin seed rice. To make this, add some cumin seeds and 1 tbsp of ghee to your boiling water. Then cook your rice as per the package directions. It adds a nice mild flavour to the rice.
  • You can serve this salmon over rice like I did or you can switch it up depending on your mood. Other ideas could include a bed of greens, mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, or even soba noodles.
