Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rice

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with water (typically a ratio of 1:2, rice to water) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Step 2: Cook the Salmon

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the salmon fillets. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any desired spices. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

While the salmon is baking, prepare your choice of vegetables. Chop vegetables like cucumbers, avocado, and greens. Optionally, you can sauté vegetables in a pan with a bit of oil, seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice as the base. Top with the baked salmon fillets. Arrange the fresh or sautéed vegetables around the salmon. Drizzle with a sauce of your choice, such as teriyaki or a sesame dressing, for added flavor.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Finish the bowls with garnishes like sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: Cooking Variations

Feel free to customize the bowls with your favorite vegetables or add toppings such as nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.

Note 2: Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store the rice, salmon, and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat the salmon in the oven to keep it flaky.

Note 3: Dietary Adjustments

To make this dish gluten-free, ensure that any sauces used are gluten-free. Also, it can easily be made dairy-free by avoiding creamy sauces.
