💡 Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon with lemon juice and herbs for 15 minutes before cooking.
Meal prep by cooking the salmon, eggs, and mushrooms ahead of time, then assemble fresh with avocado just before serving.
This bowl pairs well with cauliflower rice if you’d like a heartier, still low-carb meal.
