Y’all! This has become one of my favorite meals! It is so fresh and flavorful! I love that it’s packed with goodness and leaves you feeling full. This salmon rice bowl is an excellent healthy dinner option. Roasted salmon, wild rice, brussel sprouts and beets - with flavor that packs a punch! If you’ve wanted to incorporate beets into your diet but have been a little scared, this recipe is a great way to sneak them in.
Time for a reality check: I took these photos back in April or May… I’m not entirely sure. And I’ve been sitting on content for a while that I’ve needed to write. Whoops! But better late than never. Especially when it’s something this tasty. I can’t hold out on y’all forever!
Because it’s been a hot minute, I can’t remember if this recipe was sent to us by our beloved health coach Liz, or if Darrell found this. I know it wasn’t something I found but I’ve loved it since day one. LOL.
Not sure how you feel about beets? I think roasted is always a great way to try a new veggie and this meal is great because it’s mixed in with other foods you probably like! Beets are so good for you! Learn more about the benefits of eating beets.

Notes
We’ve made this dish a number of times and sometimes I use rosemary but we don’t always have that on hand so I’ve also used thyme in place of rosemary. Both are excellent!
We left out the pistachios because of Darrell’s nut allergy but I’m sure that’s a nice addition.
We love this frozen Atlantic salmon and it’s become a staple in our household. For just the two of us, we like to split one fillet.
The full recipe is enough for two meals for us so we typically make the full amount of beets and brussels then roast salmon fresh each time we eat it. We use my shortcut below to cook rice each time we eat this meal as well so it is freshest:
For the rice, you can totally cook the wild rice if you want, but I’m not about that life. So we use microwavable Brown and Wild Rice Cups. One cup per serving.
One more note: I love these wide, shallow bowls we use for several meals. They’re great for serving up bakes, bowl meals like this one, salads and more. We have two and I plan to add more soon!
