When it comes to convenient meals, salmon bowls are an easy option to have on hand. But they’re not just for lunch.

With a mix of quality wild salmon, grains, vegetables, and flavourful ingredients, a salmon bowl can work for lunch, dinner, meal prep, or even as part of a bigger meal. And because there are so many ways to customize your bowl, it’s easy to make it work for your tastes and your schedule.

National Seafood Month is celebrated every October, making it a great time to put seafood back in the spotlight and discover new ways to enjoy salmon.

Here are 4 ways to enjoy Gold Seal Salmon Bowls beyond your usual lunch routine. 

When You Want Something a Little Bit Heartier

Sometimes, a salmon bowl is all you need. Other times, you’re looking for something a little more filling.

That’s where your favourite toppings come in. Add grains, vegetables, avocado, sauces, dressings, or other ingredients you have on hand to turn your salmon bowl into a heartier meal.

Try adding fresh greens and vegetables for extra colour and crunch, grains like rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal, or avocado and your favourite dressing for even more flavour.

The best part? You don’t need to follow a complicated recipe. Start with your salmon bowl and build from there using ingredients you already have in the fridge. 

When Salmon Is Part of a Bigger Meal

While a salmon bowl on its own is delicious and satisfying, it can also make a great addition to a bigger meal. 

Serve it alongside a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or other favourite sides for a simple dinner or a casual spread that everyone can enjoy. 

This can also be a great option when you’re serving a group. Put a variety of ingredients on the table and let everyone build their own combination. 

Gold Seal’s salmon bowls are also MSC certified. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification means the fishery has been independently assessed against the MSC Fisheries Standard, which considers factors such as fish stock health, environmental impacts, and effective fisheries management.

Warm It Up!

A salmon bowl doesn’t have to be served cold. When you’re craving something warm, scoop the Gold Seal salmon bowl out into a bowl, heat it up and enjoy it as a comforting meal.

Warming up your bowl can also be an easy way to switch up your usual routine. Instead of reaching for the same cold lunch, try enjoying your favourite salmon bowl warm with your go-to toppings or sides.

From the Mediterranean bowl to the Fiesta bowl or Fried Rice bowl, each flavour offers an easy way to enjoy salmon with a little variety.

Whether you’re looking for something quick after a busy day or a warm meal to enjoy at home, a salmon bowl can be an easy option to keep on hand.

When You’re Planning Ahead

Busy schedules can make it difficult to find time to prepare a meal from scratch. Planning a few meals ahead can help make those days a little easier. 

Take the ideas above and prep them ahead of the week. Add your favourite vegetables, cook grains, or portion out toppings in advance. Keep sauces or crunchy toppings separate until you’re ready to eat so everything stays fresh.

It doesn’t have to mean spending hours meal prepping. Even a little preparation can make it easier to have a healthy and hearty seafood meal ready when you need it.

Make Salmon Part of More Meals

Gold Seal salmon bowls are a convenient way to enjoy seafood throughout the day, whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, something to prepare ahead, or a simple addition to a bigger meal.

And while National Seafood Month is a great reminder to enjoy more seafood, there’s no reason to wait for a special occasion. Keeping convenient seafood options on hand makes it easier to enjoy delicious, protein-packed meals whenever you need them.
