Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (e.g., cucumber, radish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the jasmine rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover until tender (about 15 minutes).
  2. Prepare the salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake the salmon: Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Mix the dressing: Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, and a splash of lime juice in a small bowl.
  5. Assemble your bowls: Fluff the cooked rice and divide it among bowls. Top each bowl with baked salmon, fresh vegetables, avocado slices, and drizzle the dressing over everything.
  6. Final touches: Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top before serving.
