Ingredients
  

Salmon Preparation
  • 2 fillets salmon fillets (skin-on)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Bowl Assembly
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice
  • 1/2 count avocado (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cucumber (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup edamame (steamed)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional for spice)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  2. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
Assembly
  1. Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with crispy salmon, avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and edamame.
  2. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For an extra crispy skin, make sure your skillet is hot before adding the salmon. You can substitute the edamame with other cooked proteins like chicken or tofu for a different flavor. Adding a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice just before serving brightens the taste of the bowl.
