Ingredients

Scale

Before we dive into the ingredients, let me share a little secret: I’m all about flexibility in the kitchen. So feel free to tweak these ingredients based on what you have on hand.

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli (or your favorite veggie)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

If you’re out of broccoli, feel free to substitute with bell peppers or snap peas. The goal is to use what you love and keep it simple.

Instructions

Cooking these bowls is as easy as pie—actually, easier than pie. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. This is your flavor-packed marinade.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the honey garlic marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring they’re coated in the sweet goodness.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye out for that beautiful caramelization on top.
  6. While the salmon is baking, prepare your jasmine rice according to package instructions and steam your broccoli.
  7. To assemble, divide the cooked rice into bowls, top with a salmon fillet, and add a generous portion of steamed broccoli.
  8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for that final touch of flavor and color.

Remember, cooking isn’t about getting it perfect—it’s about making it yours. If your sauce spills a bit or the rice isn’t perfectly fluffed, it’s still going to taste amazing.
