Salmon Shawarma Bowls

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I love Shawarma! Anything Shawarma is right up my alley! I had some of my shawarma rub already made up from another recipe I made a few days ago, so I decided to make up some salmon shawarma bowls for dinner tonight. Monday nights are salmon night in this house. It’s the one night I don’t have to worry about what to make for dinner. We just know that every Monday, we’re having salmon of some kind. This recipe is sooo easy and fast to throw together! I worked all day but still had dinner on the table in 30 minutes thanks to the easy, oven method of roasting the salmon in just 15 minutes along with cooking the turmeric rice on the stovetop to a perfect fluff in just 20 minutes. Top these bowls with my tahini drizzle, pickled onions and fresh herbs and you have yourself the most D to the LISH weeknight option that everyone will love!
