If you have a family full of picky eaters, you’d share my plight of trying to come up with dinner recipes that can keep everyone happy. Luckily, bowl dinners always seem to do the trick. With a neutral base – like rice, couscous, or quinoa – bowl dinners let you decide how you want your dinner. Want your rice smothered in chicken satay? No problem! Want a huge serving of quinoa with a small serving of salmon? Absolutely! Here are 8 bowl recipes you can make every other day and still crave them more.

Think spicy, flavorful tacos, but without the hassle of filling up the taco shells! Sounds easy, right? This is one of those ‘Maximum Flavor, Minimal Effort’ meals that are perfect for lazy weeknight meals when you’re craving some easy, comfort food without putting in a lot of work.

Teriyaki Salmon Bowl
Swap chicken with salmon if you’re focusing on building a less meat-focused diet in your routine. A teriyaki-marinated salmon fillet, when roasted, brings out a rich teriyaki flavor with the signature salmon undertones. I absolutely love this combo – and serve this over a bed of rice for a healthy, balanced dinner that is yummy and fulfilling at the same time. Full Recipe: Teriyaki Salmon Bowl
