Ingredients
To create these delicious bowls, you’ll need the following ingredients. Feel free to make substitutions where necessary, as cooking should always be a personal and flexible journey.
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring these flavors together in just a few easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. This simple marinade will infuse the salmon with incredible flavor.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be bubbling and caramelized.
- While the salmon is baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli and sauté for about 5 minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, a portion of broccoli, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions.
