Ingredients:

-sweet potato
-cauliflower
-broccoli
-edamame
-cucumber
-seaweed
-Greek yogurt
-Sriracha
-coconut aminos
-garlic powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika
Instructions:
-Pat your salmon dry with a paper towel then coat generously in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Lay the salmon skin down on a piece of foil and place in an air fryer( top with a thin lemon slice). Cook the salmon for 10-12 mins on 400. I remove the lemon sluc halfway thriugh cookung ti allow the slamon to get crispy on top. It should be flaky when done and the be able to be easily pulled off the skin.
-Place the broccoli, cauliflower, and frozen edamame pods in a pot with a steam rack and lid for 10 mins over med heat. When the broccoli and cauliflower are soft/tender add garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and any other preferred seasoning. Remove the edamame pods from the shell once done steaming.
-Using a knife stab the sweet potato on all sides and cover with a soaking paper towel and microwave for 3-4 mins depending on its size. Once fork tender peel the skin of the potato and dice it into small cubes. Season with salt or any other seasoning preference.
-Follow the directions on rice to microwave/steam. I like to add a dash of coconut oil to only my white rice(not wild rice) and a splash of coconut aminos to white or wild rice.
-Thinly slice the cucumber and top with a splash of lime juice and flaky sea salt. Dice the avocado and set aside.
-Assemble the bowl with the rice, cubed sweet potato, steamed vegetables, edamame pods, salmon, seaweed, avocado, and cucumber.
-I like to create the perfect bite by spreading the spicy sauce on a piece of seaweed and topping it with salmon, rice, sweet potato, and avocado.
Spicy Greek Yogurt sauce
-Mix 3tbs Greek yogurt, 1tsp Sriracha(or until desired level of spice) and garlic powder. You may need to add a splash of water to thin it out.
