Why this meal fits low carb

A poke-style bowl over greens or cauliflower rice keeps sushi vibes without sugary sauces or rice mounds. Use sashimi-grade salmon if eating raw; otherwise quickly sear. Avocado adds fat for satiety.

Swaps

Cooked shrimp or tofu (check carbs). Cucumber and radish for crunch.

Meal prep

Cube salmon day-of. Prep cauliflower rice ahead.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz sushi-grade or previously frozen salmon, cubed
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (1g carb per tbsp — use sparingly)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Sesame seeds and nori strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk coconut aminos, vinegar, sesame oil, and mayo for dressing.
  2. Toss salmon cubes with half the dressing; rest 5 minutes.
  3. Divide greens between bowls. Top with salmon, avocado, and cucumber.
  4. Drizzle remaining dressing. Garnish with sesame and nori if using.

Tips

Use previously frozen salmon for home raw preparations. Women with PCOS often do well with omega-3–rich dinners — discuss targets with your provider.
