Salmon, Walnut And Avocado Grain Bowls.
Hello friends, fancy making these nice and healthy Salmon, Walnut And Avocado Grain Bowls?
Did You Know:
California Walnuts have the heart-healthy seal of approval from the heart health charity, Heart UK as an ingredient or snack.
A handful of California Walnuts (30 grams) can help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels[1], help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease[2] and are the only tree nut high in Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) – important for heart health.
How To Make Salmon, Walnut And Avocado Grain Bowls:
Serving: 6 People
Description:
Kale, grains and toasted walnuts are the base for this healthy bowl. Toss with a chipotle lime vinaigrette and top with salmon, avocado, beans, peppers and coriander.
Ingredients:
Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette:
60ml extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp lime juice
3/4 tsp chipotle chilli powder
Pinch black pepper
Salmon Bowl:
450g salmon fillets
140g kale
500g cooked brown rice
120g California walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped (plus more for garnish)
400g can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 red or green pepper, diced
1 large avocado, peeled, stoned and cubed
2 large onions, sliced
25g fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
Preparations:
1.) Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (May be prepared several days ahead.)
2.) Cook salmon in a well-oiled frying pan over medium-high heat for 3 – 4 minutes on each side until just cooked throughout. Remove from the pan and remove skin. Let them cool, then cut into 1.5cm pieces.
3.) Mix kale and brown rice together in a large bowl and toss with vinaigrette. Place equal amounts on one side of 4 large salad bowls.
4.) Place equal amounts of walnuts, salmon, black beans, peppers, avocado and onion on the other side of the bowl.
5.) Garnish with coriander and additional walnuts for garnish.
Dietitian Sian Porter says: “This delicious bowl is full of heart healthy ingredients. Essential fatty acids DHA and EPA in the salmon contribute to the normal function of the heart, maintaining healthy blood pressure and triglyceride levels*. The essential omega-3 fatty acid ALA in the California Walnuts helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels*. The veg, beans, wholegrains and California Walnuts are packed with fibre which is associated with a lower risk of both cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease. This bowl provides over one third (10.7g) of the UK adult daily fibre recommendation (30g) and 3 portions of vegetables per serving (3 of your ‘5 a day’).”
