Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then rub with 1/2 tsp avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes until edges are crispy and center is opaque when gently pressed.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, slice avocado in half, remove pit, and dice flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Squeeze lime juice over avocado and toss gently to prevent browning.
  4. Step 4: Massage kale with remaining 1/2 tsp avocado oil and a pinch of salt for 2 minutes until tender and dark green.
  5. Step 5: Arrange kale on plate, top with baked salmon, and arrange avocado cubes around the edges.

How do I store leftover Migraine-Relief Avocado Salmon Bowl?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep salmon fillet from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Migraine-Relief Avocado Salmon Bowl?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Migraine-Relief Avocado Salmon Bowl for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Mediterranean whole30 like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
