Dairy Free and Delicious : Salmon and Broccoli Bowl

Do you think meals should always be served on plates? I don't, because I think there are certain meals that lend themselves to be served in a bowl. Like this meal suggestion for instance, it really does work well in a bowl! This delicious salmon recipe bursts with flavour. It is full of healthy fats, and could make you a perfect midweek meal. Read on and see what you think ...


Ingredients
Serves One
1 small swede/rutabaga/turnip, peeled and diced
½ head broccoli, cut into florets
1 tin salmon in spring-water or 100g (3 ½ oz) fresh salmon fillet, skinned and de-boned
125ml (4 fl. oz/ ½ cup) almond or coconut milk
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method
1. Cook the *swede/rutabaga/turnip (see tip) and broccoli in a saucepan of boiling water for 8 – 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. If using fresh salmon, put the salmon in a small frying pan over medium heat and pour over the almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 7 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked.
3. Place the salmon, with the almond milk it was cooked in, and the cooked vegetables in a food processor and pulse to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother consistency, add more almond milk. If you prefer a chunkier version, omit the processing step and simply mix everything together in a bowl... see note below.
4. Serve with a grind of black pepper - it just adds to the taste!

Note
A chunkier version (which I prefer) is good, but see for yourself which you'd rather have!
Tip
* Needs to be tender - so do check

There are many dishes that are suited for bowls. Much easier to manage for some of us.

This sounds great, we just had some salmon and broccoli. I eat most of my meals in a bowl, it's just easier. Ten years ago I found this big bowl at a charity shop and have been using it since then.

This recipe is wonderful. Eating from a bowl is more relaxed, somehow.

That would be ok. We don't often eat in a bowl it's harder to cut the meat as in roasts, chops, poultry legs as so on, but once in a while the food is good in a bowl, Jan.

I am not a fan of Salmon, the taste is too strong for me, I would have to substitute a different fish. Maybe Snapper or Barramundi.

We often use bowls and Ingo even fish :-)

Shari Burke said...

What a great idea. I'll be trying this--just got some salmon yesterday. Thanks, Jan!

We often use bowls for meals. Sometimes a meal is better contained this way especially if it has a more liquid consistancy. I agree that other meals just look better in a bowl, like your salmon and broccoli. It looks delicious and perfect for a sunny day like it is today.

Tom said...

...the two make a great combination.

Dear Jan, we are BIG on bowls here in fact, we mostly eat from them. Then there are the bowl plate combo sorta where it's a wider flatter bowl. LOOOOVE bowls. And also BIG cups/mugs that I eat food outta with spoons. Also LOVE broccoli and salmon. Delightful combo.

That sounds great. and I love eating out a bowl. It's less messy. :) Thanks for the pretty bouquet too. Hope you're having a super Tuesday Jan.

Jeanie said...

That would be tasty!

Giorgio said...

Never heard of the combination between salmon and broccoli. I will give it a try, although it's not easy to purchase broccoli in June.

This looks like a delicious meal that would be quick to prepare. We do enjoy bowl meals sometimes, although I do prefer things separate on my plate.

I had salmon tonight but not in a bowl but I do use them sometimes.

We just got back from visiting my sister in law and she made a broccoli salad one of the days we were there, but no salmon
