Salmon is often heralded as a superfood, and for good reason. This fish is rich in high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are known for their numerous health benefits, including promoting heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function. Just a single serving of salmon can provide more than the recommended daily intake of these essential fats, making it a perfect addition to a balanced diet.

Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets, skin-on

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water or broth (chicken/vegetable)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: chili flakes or sriracha for heat

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil.

      Crispy Salmon: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Carefully flip the salmon over, reduce the heat to medium, and brush the tops with the soy sauce mixture. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.

        Assemble the Bowl: In large serving bowls, add a generous scoop of jasmine rice. Top with the crispy salmon fillet. Arrange sliced avocado, cucumber, and julienned carrots around the salmon.

          Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top. For an added kick, add chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha if desired.

            Serve: Enjoy your Crispy Salmon and Rice Bowl warm!
