Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or other neutral cooking oil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice (brown, white, jasmine, or basmati)
  • 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced into matchsticks or ribbons
  • 1/2 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil (if using). Set aside.
  2. 2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package directions if not already cooked.
  3. 3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down (if applicable) for 4-5 minutes until golden.
  5. 5. Flip and Glaze: Flip salmon, reduce heat to medium. Brush with half the glaze. Cook 4-6 minutes more, basting with remaining glaze. Remove salmon from pan.
  6. 6. Sauté Vegetables: Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the same skillet (add more oil if needed). Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. 7. Assemble Bowls: Divide rice among four bowls. Top with salmon and vegetables.
  8. 8. Garnish: Drizzle with any remaining glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Notes

Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat rice gently on the stovetop or microwave. Reheat salmon in a low oven (275°F for 5-10 mins) or gently in a skillet. Reheat vegetables alongside salmon or in a skillet.
