Healthy Salmon Poké-Bowl

Embarking on a journey of health, let's kickstart the year with a Salmon Poké Bowl. This vibrant dish, rooted in Hawaii's tradition of "poké" (meaning "to slice"), has evolved into a global sensation.

Salmon takes the spotlight, offering omega-3 fatty acids for heart health and brain function. Avocado adds creaminess and nutrient richness with heart-healthy fats, vitamins K, E, and C. A colorful mix of fresh vegetables brings vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting immune function and adding a burst of freshness.

Rice serves as a base, providing sustained energy and digestive benefits. Blueberries, sprinkled generously, infuse the bowl with antioxidants, reducing oxidative stress. The zesty red cabbage salad topping adds crunch and cancer-fighting compounds.
