Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 200g (7oz) fresh salmon fillet
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cucumber, diced
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons edamame, shelled (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
  • For the soy-ginger dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions with a pinch of salt. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy.
  4. Flip salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until flesh flakes easily but remains slightly translucent in center. Remove from heat.
  5. While salmon cooks, prepare vegetables: slice avocado, dice cucumber, shred carrot, and slice cabbage if using.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until well combined.
  7. To assemble: place rice in bowl, flake salmon into bite-sized pieces and arrange on top.
  8. Arrange prepared vegetables around the salmon in separate sections.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if using.
  10. Drizzle with soy-ginger dressing just before serving.

Notes

For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating.

The dressing can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
