Ingredients
- 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. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil (if using). Set aside.
- 2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package directions if not already cooked.
- 3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
- 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. 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. 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. Assemble Bowls: Divide rice among four bowls. Top with salmon and vegetables.
- 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.
