Make a delicious and healthy salmon rice bowl tonight. This recipe uses simple ingredients and pan-seared salmon for a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice or brown rice
  • 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) in the hot skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
  5. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. While the salmon cooks, steam or lightly sauté the broccoli and carrots until tender-crisp.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil to create the simple sauce.
  8. To assemble your salmon rice bowl, divide the cooked rice between two bowls.
  9. Top the rice with the cooked vegetables, a salmon fillet, and sliced avocado.
  10. Drizzle the soy-sesame sauce over the salmon and vegetables.
  11. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicy salmon rice bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of sriracha into the soy sauce mixture.
  • You can substitute the vegetables with edamame or sliced cucumber for a fresh salmon rice bowl.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep salmon rice bowls; store components separately and assemble just before eating.
