Ingredients

For the Salmon Bowls

2 fillets salmon fresh and flaky
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup cooked rice white or brown
1 cup mixed greens
1/2 cucumber sliced cool and refreshing
1 avocado sliced
1/4 cup radishes thinly sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds optional

Equipment

Oven-safe Skillet

Method

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until crispy.
Step 4: Carefully flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.
Step 5: Prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
Step 6: To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with mixed greens, sliced cucumber, avocado, and radishes.
Step 7: Once the salmon is done, place it on top of the prepared bowls and drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers separately in airtight containers. Salmon is best eaten within 1-2 days, while the veggies can last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
