Ingredients
  

For the Salmon

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for searing the salmon; it helps achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adds a delightful aroma and depth of flavor; use fresh for the best taste.
For the Base
  • 1 cup Rice White, brown, or jasmine are all excellent choices.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Enhances umami flavors; consider low-sodium options if desired.
For the Veggies
  • 2 cups Vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, edamame) Feel free to customize with your favorites.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
  2. While the skillet heats, pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Prepare your rice while the salmon cooks. If using leftovers, warm them in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water and mix in soy sauce.
  5. Once the rice and salmon are ready, scoop rice into a bowl, layer with salmon and surround with vegetables.
  6. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the bowl before serving.
