A vibrant and healthy meal featuring pan-seared salmon with a sweet and spicy kick, served over a bed of fluffy rice and colorful vegetables.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup sliced cucumber
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • For the dressing:
    • ¼ cup coconut milk
    • 2 tbsp lime juice
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry and season generously with salt, pepper, ginger, cumin, and red pepper flakes.

  2. Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Set aside to rest.

  3. Prepare the vegetables: While the salmon is cooking, steam or blanch the broccoli florets until tender-crisp.

  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce.

  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top with steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, chopped cilantro, and flakes of salmon. Drizzle generously with the coconut lime dressing.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
