Ingredients
2 fillets (approx. 6 oz each) Fresh Salmon Fillets (skin-on or off)
1/2 lb Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 cups cooked Cauliflower Rice or Quinoa
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
1 large Fresh Avocado (sliced)

1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1/2 cup Purple Cabbage (shredded)
1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup

Instructions
- Prepare the Seafood: Start by patting your salmon fillets and shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season both generously with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder
- Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of Avocado Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side until flaky and opaque. Remove and set aside
- Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of Avocado Oil if needed. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, Honey (or Maple Syrup), and a pinch of salt
- Assemble the Base: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice or greens between two large bowls
- Layer the Toppings: Arrange cucumber, cherry tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and sliced avocado over the base
- Add the Seafood: Place one salmon fillet and a portion of shrimp on top of each bowl
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over everything and serve immediately
