Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 fillets salmon fillets (about 1 lb total, skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 green onion sliced

Salt & Pepper

Instructions 

  • Whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to make the marinade. Pat salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, then marinate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet, cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, flip and cook 2-3 minutes, then add remaining marinade in the last minute.
  • Remove salmon, then in the same pan, add sesame oil and sauté spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  • Divide rice into bowls, top with sautéed spinach and flaked salmon, drizzle with pan sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Using skinless salmon reduces fat, and marinating enhances flavor. Feel free to add more vegetables for extra nutrition.
