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

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

  2. 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.

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.
