Ingredients
Scale
Let’s keep it simple and delicious with ingredients that might already be in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and black pepper to taste
If you’re missing any of these, don’t stress. Swap jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa, or use maple syrup in place of honey. The beauty of home cooking is its flexibility, much like how my mom would always find a way to make something out of nothing.
Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Follow these steps to bring a little magic to your dinner table:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and olive oil. This glaze is what dreams are made of, trust me.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the sweet chili mixture, reserving a little for later.
- Season the salmon lightly with salt and black pepper, then pop them into the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, warm up your cooked jasmine rice and steam your broccoli. I usually do this on the stovetop to save time.
- Once the salmon is done, drizzle the remaining glaze over the top for that extra burst of flavor.
- Assemble your bowls by dividing the rice, broccoli, and salmon among four bowls. Top with sliced red bell pepper and green onions for a fresh crunch.
And there you have it—dinner is served! It’s as easy as that, and trust me, your family will thank you.
