Salmon & Quinoa Omega Bowl

Skin & Coat Joint Health

Ingredients

  • 1 lb wild salmon fillet (skin removed)
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup chopped kale
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp calcium carbonate
  • 200 IU vitamin E

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa according to package directions with 2 cups water. Set aside.
  2. Steam or poach salmon fillet for 10-12 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. Let cool, then flake into small pieces, checking carefully for bones.
  3. Lightly steam kale for 3 minutes until wilted.
  4. Combine flaked salmon, cooked quinoa, and kale in a large bowl.
  5. Add coconut oil, calcium carbonate, and vitamin E. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Cool completely before portioning. Refrigerate up to 3 days (seafood spoils faster) or freeze up to 2 months.

💊 Required Supplements

Per daily serving: 1/2 tsp calcium carbonate, 200 IU vitamin E. Additional omega-3 supplementation may not be needed as salmon is naturally rich in EPA/DHA. Add 25mg zinc picolinate if feeding long-term.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Salmon is the primary source of omega-3 fatty acids in this recipe. Substituting with other fish or proteins dramatically reduces EPA/DHA content. Quinoa provides complete protein; replacing with rice or oats reduces protein quality.
