These black rice and salmon bowls combine wild salmon, crisp napa cabbage, cucumber, and cooked black rice with a vibrant orange miso dressing. Together they provide high-quality protein, omega-3–rich fats, antioxidant-rich complex carbohydrates, and fresh raw vegetables in one nutrient-dense meal. Meals structured this way tend to feel deeply satisfying. When protein, healthy fats, fiber, and complex carbohydrates are in balance, appetite naturally stabilizes and cravings diminish.
