Ingredients

  • For the Salmon:

    • 2 salmon fillets (about 4-6 oz each)

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)

    • 1 teaspoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)

    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for added flavor)

  • For the Rice:

    • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice (or any rice of your choice)

    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

    • 1 teaspoon sugar

    • Pinch of salt

  • For Toppings:

    • 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin

    • 1/2 avocado, sliced

    • 1/4 cup shredded carrots

    • 1/4 cup edamame (optional)

    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

    • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

  • For the Sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)

    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

    • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for a spicy kick)






Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice:

    • Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. While it’s cooking, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Once the rice is done, stir in the vinegar mixture and let it sit to cool slightly. This gives the rice a subtle, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the salmon.

  2. Cook the Salmon:

    • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.

    • While the salmon cooks, drizzle with soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil, if using, for added flavor. If you like a glaze, cook the salmon for an extra minute or two, letting the sauce reduce slightly.

  3. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Once the rice is ready, divide it evenly into two bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet. Flake the salmon with a fork and arrange it beautifully over the rice.

    • Add your toppings: cucumber slices, avocado, shredded carrots, and edamame. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and add fresh cilantro for extra color and flavor.

  4. Make the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and Sriracha (if you want a little heat). Drizzle the sauce generously over the salmon and rice.

  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Serve your Easy Salmon Rice Bowl immediately, with an extra squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired.
