Ingredients

Scale

1 salmon fillet (6 oz)
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1/2 cup fresh vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots)
2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 green onions (chopped)

Instructions

Gather ingredients and chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the rice by combining 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until water is absorbed.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Cook skin-side down for about 6 minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional 4 minutes until flaky.
Assemble your bowl by layering rice at the bottom, topping with salmon, followed by fresh vegetables.
Drizzle soy sauce over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Serve immediately while warm.
