Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 2 fillets salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for searing
For the Rice Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked rice (brown or white, your choice)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli (or your favorite veggies)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or sliced
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then drizzle the soy mixture over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the marinade as you go.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, fill serving bowls with a generous helping of cooked rice. Top with steamed broccoli, carrots, and slices of creamy avocado.
Assembly
  1. Once the salmon is perfectly seared, place it right on top of your rice bowls and spoon any remaining marinade over everything. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish.

Notes

Clean your skillet quickly! A de-glazed pan will help you avoid a hard clean-up later. Don’t have salmon? Substitute any fish you love, or even use tofu for a plant-based option. For a spicy kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to your soy glaze.
