Equipment

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillets skin removed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup jasmine rice

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger grated

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Coat lightly with cornstarch for a crispy texture.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with sesame oil. Sear the salmon pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Place broccoli florets in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5-6 minutes until tender yet crisp.
  • In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside for drizzling over the assembled bowls.
  • Start with a base of cooked rice, add steamed broccoli, and top with crispy salmon bites. Drizzle with prepared sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Optionally, garnish each bowl with sliced green onions or additional sesame seeds for extra flavor.

Serving

  • Serve the salmon broccoli rice bowls immediately while the salmon is warm and crispy. Enjoy as a main course.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving to maintain the quality of the salmon.

Notes

Pro Tips: For extra crunch, try broiling the salmon for a few minutes after pan-searing. Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use brown rice for a whole grain option. How to Serve: Pair with a light salad for a complete meal. Storage & Freshness: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prep all ingredients and store separately until ready to assemble and serve.
