Asian-Inspired Salmon Bowl with Rice and Fresh Vegetables

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper to create the salmon marinade.

3. Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

5. While the salmon is baking, prepare the dressing. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).

6. To assemble the bowls, divide the seasoned rice between two serving bowls.

7. Arrange the sliced avocado, cucumber, red onion, and julienned carrots on top of the rice in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

8. Place a cooked salmon fillet on each bowl.

9. Drizzle the dressing over the salmon and vegetables.

10. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and additional sesame seeds.

11. Serve your Asian-Inspired Salmon Bowl immediately and enjoy!
