Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine rice)
1 avocado, sliced
1 small cucumber, sliced
½ cup shredded carrots
¼ cup chopped green onions
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down (if using skin-on fillets). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the salmon is golden and flakes easily with a fork. (For skinless fillets, cook 3-4 minutes per side.)
In the last minute of cooking, pour the honey glaze over the salmon and cook for an additional minute, allowing the glaze to caramelize.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the rice and vegetables. In a bowl, layer the rice and top with sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
Once the salmon is cooked, place it on top of the rice and veggies. Drizzle any remaining honey glaze over the salmon.
Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Vegetarian Version: Swap salmon for crispy tofu or tempeh. Marinate the tofu in the glaze and sauté until crispy.
Different Grains: Try quinoa, farro, or couscous instead of rice for a different base.
More Veggies: Add extra veggies like roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, or bell peppers for more nutrition and flavor.
Spicy Kick: Add chili flakes or sriracha to the glaze, or top the bowl with fresh jalapeño slices for heat.
