1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), low-sodium recommended
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or sautéed
1 cup snap peas
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking the salmon.
Cook the Salmon: If baking, place the marinated salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. If grilling, cook for about 5-7 minutes per side.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon is cooking, steam or sauté the broccoli and snap peas until tender-crisp.
Assemble the Rice Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls, top each bowl with the steamed vegetables and a salmon fillet.
Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over each bowl and serve immediately.
