Spicy Salmon Bowl

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Salmon, cut into 1 inch cubes (I use the center cut or the thicker parts of the salmon for this recipe)
• 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tsp Dried Italian Seasoning or oregano
• 1 tsp Salt (may need more salt)
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 Avocados, cut into slices (*half an avocado per bowl)
• 1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced, pickled or raw (*see blogpost on how to pickle)
• 1 cup Shelled Edamame
• 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
• Cooked Brown rice (or rice of choice)
• Fresh Lemon's juice
• Everything but a bagel seasoning or sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   Stir together all the spices. Season the salmon generously and evenly with this seasoning blend.

2. 2

   Heat up a nonstick skillet and add the avocado oil to the pan. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon pieces to the pan making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
