A Greek Salsa Salmon Bowl.

I have been on a major salmon kick recently! I love to incorporate salmon into my diet because of all the healthy fats and protein it provides, plus it tastes delicious! Preparing the salmon in the air fryer, gives it a great crispy outside that I can’t get enough of!

This Greek Salsa Salmon bowl utilizes the air fryer salmon and a crisp Greek salsa made from fresh vegetables, lemon, and herbs that bring tremendous flavor to the bowl. Served over orzo or cauliflower rice, this bowl delivers serious nutrients, flavor, and is gluten-free, dairy-free, and can be made AIP.

The Ingredients for the Greek Salsa Salmon Bowls

  • Salmon. I like to use sockeye salmon.
  • Orzo. I like to use gluten-free or grain-free orzo, but you can also use cauliflower rice.
  • Lemon, Dill, and Parsley. To add signature Greek flavors!
  • Cucumber, Tomato, Avocado, and Red onion. These are the main ingredients for salsa. You can easily omit the tomato to keep it AIP, and even add olives if desired.
  • Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper.

Are these Greek Salsa Salmon Bowls healthy?

Healthy means something different for everyone, but seeing as these bowls are made with salmon and lots of fresh vegetables, we’d call them pretty healthy!!

How do you make these bowls AIP?

  • Omit the tomato.
  • Use grain-free orzo or cauliflower rice.

What can you use in place of orzo to make this gluten-free?

I like to use gluten-free orzo or even grain-free cassava orzo, but you can also use rice or cauliflower rice as the base of these bowls.

How long does the salsa stay fresh?

The avocado does brown within 12+ hours, so it’s best to eat these fresh. However, you can also add more lemon juice and wrap it tightly to extend its life in the fridge!

Can you add other ingredients to these bowls?

Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and a tzatziki sauce would also be great additions to these bowls!
