Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 ounces each)

1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed

2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 garlic clove, minced

1 avocado, sliced

1 small cucumber, julienned

1 carrot, shredded

2 radishes, thinly sliced

2 green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Salmon: While the rice cooks, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

      Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and pour half of the sauce mixture over the fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of jasmine rice. Place a crispy salmon fillet on top, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and shredded carrot around the salmon.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the bowl with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Add radishes for extra crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy crispy salmon and rice bowl!
