Air Fryer Sesame Ginger Salmon Bowl with Peanuts
This vibrant bowl supports hormone balance with simple, nourishing ingredients. Wild salmon provides omega-3s to reduce inflammation, while jasmine rice helps stabilize blood sugar and cortisol levels. Ginger, lime, and fiber-rich vegetables support digestion and estrogen metabolism, and healthy fats from sesame oil and peanuts help keep energy steady while supporting mood and healthy hormone function.

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup Jasmine Rice (dry, rinsed)
  • 1 1/2 tbsps Tamari
  • 1 1/2 tbsps Sesame Oil (divided)
  • 1/2 Lime (medium, zested, juiced)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (fresh, grated)
  • 2 tsps Coconut Sugar
  • 12 ozs Salmon Fillet (skinless, cut into large cubes)
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 Carrot (medium, peeled, grated)
  • 2 tbsps Raw Peanuts (chopped)
  • 2 tbsps Cilantro (chopped)
Instructions:
  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer to 400ºF (205ºC).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the tamari, 2/3 of the oil, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, and sugar. Remove half of the sauce and set it aside in a small bowl. Add the salmon to the large bowl and toss to combine.
  3. Transfer the salmon to the air fryer basket. Cook for five to seven minutes until cooked through, flipping halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the remaining oil and the spinach. Cook for three minutes until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide the rice evenly between bowls. Top with the salmon, cooked spinach, carrots, peanuts, and cilantro. Drizzle the remaining sauce over top and enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
