Hello again, Seafoodies!
Remember when “bowls” felt like another food trend that would eventually fade away, right alongside cronuts and rainbow bagels? Yet here we are, years later, wondering how we ever lived without them! Turns out, some “fads” stick around because they’re genius—and bowl meals certainly fall into that category.
Think about it: bowls combine everything we love about a satisfying meal into one perfect, packable vessel. They’re customizable, contain a mix of complementary flavors and somehow make healthy food feel indulgent. There’s the classic burrito bowls at Mexican restaurants, açaí bowls at juice shops and those gorgeous Hawaiian poke bowls that seem to be everywhere else!
Now seafood bowls have evolved way beyond poke (though we still love a good poke bowl!). Any seafood flavor profile you enjoy on a plate can be transformed into a delicious, satisfying bowl. And hopefully after trying the recipes in this un-bowl-leavalable roundup (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves)— you’ll agree!
Whenever we’re craving something spicy, salty, crunchy or creamy—a good seafood bowl can deliver all those flavors and more while also sneaking in an extra serving of vegetables and whole grains.
Here’s the magic bowl formula: start with a base of greens or grains, add your choice of seafood and veggies, top with a drizzle of sauce or dressing and maybe throw on something crunchy for texture. Boom—you’ve got a well-balanced meal, with little effort. It’s like a healthy, wholesome version of fast food!
This curated collection features flavors that span the globe and every meal of the day. Rise and shine with a Turmeric Smoked Salmon Breakfast Bowl—where flaky smoked salmon meets golden turmeric-roasted sweet potatoes, nutrient-rich quinoa and jammy cooked eggs. Meal prep a Korean Shrimp and Ramen Bowl for lunch, featuring juicy shrimp swimming in a savory broth with ramen noodles, crisp vegetables and bold flavors that’ll transport you straight to Seoul. Or for a satisfying dinner, our Salmon Sushi Bowl turns kitchen staples into something special—veggies, sliced mango, baked salmon and brown rice topped with a drizzle of flavorful sriracha-mayo sauce.
No matter what you choose, don’t be afraid to customize to your heart’s content by swapping similar ingredients for whatever you already have hiding in the pantry and fridge. We also love prepping a bunch of seafood bowls ahead of time by assembling them in glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Layer your ingredients strategically (dressing on the bottom, greens and grains in the middle, proteins and toppings on top) and you’ve got pre-portioned meals ready to grab throughout the week.
We hope you’re “bowled over” (we promise, that’s the last pun!) by the ease and flavor combos of these fantastic bowl recipes!
