Description
Delicious sweet and savory dish featuring salmon with vibrant vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 skinless salmon fillets (about 1 pound)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cucumber, spiralized or thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Start by heating a nonstick skillet over medium heat. While the skillet warms up, prepare your ingredients. Mince the garlic and julienne the carrots, then spiralize or thinly slice the cucumber. It’s also a good time to cook your rice if you haven’t already.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Be sure to taste the mixture; you can adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.
- Once the skillet is hot, drizzle in the olive oil. Carefully add the salmon fillets, cooking them for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Gently flip the salmon and pour the honey garlic sauce over it. Allow it to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from heat. To assemble, add cooked white rice to a serving bowl and top it with the honey garlic salmon, julienned carrots, cucumber slices, and fresh baby spinach. Finish with sesame seeds.
Notes
Using day-old rice can give a better texture. Feel free to double the sauce for more flavor!
