Salmon vermicelli salad 💫 This bowl has featured a few times of recent for dinner in our house, but today, I’ve made it for lunch. It’s very quick and easy - I air fried the salmon pieces which makes it even quicker too.

What’s in my bowl:
~ Spinach & butter lettuce
~ Brown rice vermicelli
~ Carrot, cucumber & capsicum
~ Salmon pieces
~ Avo
~ Chilli
~ Sautéed greens
~ Miso & ginger dressing

In a bowl add spinach & butter lettuce combo. Slice the fresh veggies (capsicum, cucumber & carrot) thinly and layer in the bowl too. Cook the brown rice vermicelli, drain and layer in the bowl. Slice the salmon into small pieces and pan fry. If it has skin, start cooking skin down, turning once crispy. If you have an air- fryer, cook the salmon pieces on 200 degrees for 6 minutes. In a heated pan with olive oil, add broccolini (or greens of choice, I also used asparagus & Brussel sprouts). Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, layer the salmon & greens into the bowl. Add avocado and fresh sliced chill. Dress with dressing of choice, I used miso ginger dressing which I had sourced from Peko Peko or can buy a very similar dressing by Marian’s Kitchen at the supermarket. Alternatively, you can make your own dressing. This can be adapted very easily to your liking or what’s in your fridge/pantry too, which is always a bonus.
