Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
For Serving:
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Salmon: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same pan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally. For a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Return the salmon to the skillet and coat with the sauce.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with salmon, steamed broccoli, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and lime wedges.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the sauce for 15 minutes before cooking.
- You can also grill or bake the salmon if preferred.
- Substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
