A simple and flavorful rice bowl with crispy pan-seared salmon, a sweet-savory glaze, and refreshing shredded cabbage, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onion (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and honey. Whisk until well blended. This creates the sweet-savory glaze that will coat the salmon, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

  • Cook the Salmon:

    • Toss salmon cubes with the soy sauce and honey mixture. This ensures the salmon is evenly coated with the glaze, creating a sticky, flavorful coating.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. This ensures the salmon sears properly and develops a crispy crust, locking in the juices.
    • Add salmon cubes to the skillet and pan-sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Note: Salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. This ensures the salmon is cooked to perfection, preventing a dry and tough texture.

  • Assemble the Bowls:

    • Divide cooked jasmine rice into bowls. This provides the base for the dish, creating a satisfying foundation.
    • Top with the crispy salmon cubes. This adds the protein and main flavor component, ensuring a balanced and nutritious meal.
    • Add shredded cabbage to each bowl. This adds a refreshing crunch and balances the richness of the salmon, enhancing the overall texture.

  • Garnish and Serve:

    • Drizzle with extra soy sauce, if desired. This intensifies the flavor, catering to personal preference.
    • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion. This adds a finishing touch and enhances the flavor, creating a delightful presentation.
    • Serve immediately while the salmon is warm and crispy. This ensures the best flavor and texture, maximizing the enjoyment of the dish.

Notes

  • Pat salmon cubes dry before searing for crispiness.
  • Cook salmon until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use pre-cooked rice for faster preparation.
  • Customize with your favorite vegetables.
