Why We Love Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Bowls For Pregnancy And Postpartum Dinner (And Lunch):
Here’s why we love this Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Bowl:
- Protein: In the U.S., 40% of second-trimester mothers and 67% of third-trimester mothers fall below optimal protein intake levels. A serving of salmon can help meet those needs, providing about 22–25 grams of high-quality protein per 3-ounce portion. Edamame is also a high protein plant, 1/2 cup giving another 8-9 grams. This meal contributes to the overall protein requirements of pregnancy, supporting muscle growth, tissue repair, and the development of your baby.
- Omega 3’s: When mothers eat a healthy amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, infants learn to organize their sleep sooner, women are less likely to suffer from postpartum depression and may help reduce the risk of preterm birth.
- Iron: Iron deficiency is a common issue during pregnancy, with anemia affecting 17% of women in developed countries and 60% in developing countries, according to the World Health Organization. Edamame is a great way to help combat this, as it’s rich in iron, which supports healthy blood levels and prevents anemia. Plus, it’s packed with plant-based protein for tissue and muscle development, folate for brain growth, and fiber to help with digestion and prevent constipation. With its combination of essential nutrients, edamame is a tasty, healthy snack that supports both you and your baby during pregnancy.
When it comes to eating for a healthy pregnancy, we could not be more obsessed with the impact of healthy, whole foods. And, when we consider a balanced plate, half the plate vegetables, 1/4 carbs and 1/4 protein and fat, this meal comes out perfectly balanced!

Make Ahead And Meal Prep This Recipe
I love making this for lunches for the week to come. Though this recipe will not freeze well, salmon has an added benefit that it also tastes good cold. To meal prep this recipe build your bowls in mason jars. Pack everything upside down so it’s right side up when you pour it out.
First, add your Everything Bagel Seasoning, then your salmon, sriracha mayo, edamame, cucumber then last your rice.
When you are ready to eat, dump into a comfortable bowl and eat! If you will be microwaving the bowl, pack the cucumber in a separate container and add at the end, right before eating.
