Salmon Power Box

This heart-healthy Power Box is designed for balanced lunches that pack easily and travel well. With salmon and veggies in the main compartment, rice on the side, and a flavorful sauce kept separate, this meal fits perfectly in the U-Konserve 3-Compartment Divided Rectangle

Ingredients

Large compartment:

• 3–4 oz cooked salmon
• 3/4 cup steamed broccoli florets
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: lemon zest or garlic powder

Small compartment 1:

• 1/3 cup cooked white rice

Small compartment 2:

• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1–2 tsp warm water
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice
   Cook rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and measure out 1/3 cup. Set aside to cool slightly so it packs neatly in the container.
2. Cook the salmon
   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and optional lemon zest or garlic powder. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Steam the broccoli
   While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender, about 4–5 minutes. Avoid overcooking so the broccoli holds its texture when packed. Season lightly with salt.
4. Make the lemon-tahini sauce
   Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Slowly add warm water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and pourable.
