Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create the perfect Crispy Salmon and Rice Bowl:

1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water (or broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. Prepare the Salmon: While the rice cooks, season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.

5. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey (if using). Whisk until well blended.

6. Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon is cooking, chop your mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

7. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of rice. Top with the crispy salmon fillet and arrange the chopped vegetables around it.

8. Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the ingredients in each bowl.

9. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.

10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Crispy Salmon and Rice Bowl immediately!
