directions
  • In a medium bowl, add the cubed salmon and sprinkle the Chili Up North Blend and Atlantic Sea Salt. Stir to thoroughly coat the salmon. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  • While the salmon marinates, make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Arrange the salmon on a parchement lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.

  • Assemble the bowls by evenly dividing the cooked grains, raw vegetables, roasted vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, dried fruit, and cheese. Top with baked salmon and drizzle dressing over the top. Top with chopped cilantro, if using.
