How to make this simple buddha bowl

Ingredient notes
- Salmon – Fresh cooked salmon is great, but you could use canned also. Really, any protein will work with this buddha bowl or you could omit it completely.
- Veggies – The combination of veggies in this recipe was chosen for the color and crunch, but you can substitute others you prefer.
- Millet – This is one of our favorite gluten-free grains, but you can substitute rice, cauli rice, quinoa, or another grain of choice.
- Peanut sauce – The sauce tastes best with fresh ginger, but 1 tsp ground ginger will work too.
