Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets skin-on or skinless
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
For the Honey Garlic Glaze
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
For Assembling the Bowls
  • 4 cups cooked rice for serving
  • 4 cups steamed or roasted vegetables e.g., broccoli, asparagus
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Prepare your cooked rice and vegetables.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
  3. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. Flip the fillets carefully.
  4. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon. Allow it to bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with vegetables and a salmon fillet. Drizzle with extra glaze from the pan and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure each fillet gets a beautiful, crispy crust.
Tip 2: The glaze will thicken quickly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent it from burning.
