Salmon rice bowl with roasted red pepper sauce is the ultimate feel good dinner meal. Think hearty rice, topped with soft tender salmon, roasted asparagus and zucchini and drizzled with a creamy tahini roasted red pepper sauce. Gluten Free and Dairy Free.

Oh salmon, salmon, my all time favorite fish. And hello red rice my new favorite way to eat red rice. So while renting an apartment in Medellin, Colombia, in a health food store I stumbled across a bag of red rice.

Umm yes please, throw that into the cart.

And then I looked at the receipt after my purchase.

$10 for 500 grams of red rice. The equivalent of 2-3 cups. Woops. And that’s why it didn’t have a price tag right on the bag. So I knew I needed to make something amazing with the red rice, something deserving of the price tag. A real winner meal.

Meet your new favorite dinner – a salmon rice bowl; healthy salmon, red rice, veggie bowls with a specially crafted roasted red pepper sauce for fish. We’re talking crunchy hearty red rice, and lightly crisped up soft, flaky, tender salmon + oven roasted irresistible asparagus with zucchini. And if that wasn’t enough on its own, we’re then going to pour on top of it the best concoction of roasted red pepper sauce for fish – a creamy and rich roasted red pepper and tahini sauce.

Remember when I first made oven roasted red peppers from scratch for the first time ever just months ago and then became obsessed with them and made (vegan creamy roasted red pepper soup, and then vegan creamy roasted red pepper pasta, and finally red snapper fillets with romesco sauce)? Well this roasted red pepper sauce is a welcome addition to the roasted red pepper club.

While I did not roast my own peppers this time (gasp, I know) trust me this is delicious even with the jarred ones (so imagine the flavor explosion if you make your own).

This salmon rice bowl might just be my new favorite meal. I needed seconds, and thirds immediately. The sauce is seriously finger licking good as is every other component of this dish. Make a huge batch of roasted red pepper sauce for fish and eat for days. And yes there are a lot of components to this dish but it is all worth it in the end.
