Make it Your Own
Now let me show how I made my healthy, salmon rice bowl. The combination of the juicy salmon, refreshing cucumber, crunchy seaweed, and sesame seeds make this bowl so satisfying, tasty, and dreamy. I cannot wait for you to try and fall in love with this recipe.
Start by cooking your brown rice by adding 1 part rice, and 2 parts water. Cook the rice on medium-high heat until most of the water has evaporated.
Lower the heat, cover the pot and let the rice cook until tender. If you feel like the rice is too hard or you like your rice to be extra soft, add more water at the beginning or while the rice is cooking. Your rice should be ready within 30 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, cook the salmon. Cube your salmon, and marinate the salmon by adding avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and salt.
Mix everything well and transfer the marinated salmon cubes to a hot skillet. Flip the salmon cubes after a few minutes and let both sides cook equally.
The toppings can be prepared while the rice and salmon are cooking. Once everything is cooked, start assembling your plate.
To my rice and salmon, I added avocado slices, cucumber, shelled edamame, seaweed sheets, jalapenos, green onion, and black sesame seeds.
