Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions

  2. While the rice is cooking, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper

  3. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and cook the salmon until it's done to your liking

  4. In the same pan, sauté your veggies until they're tender

  5. Mix the cooked rice, salmon, and veggies in a bowl. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil

Note

After preparing the salmon rice bowl, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The rice and salmon can be stored together or separately. When reheating, it's best to warm the rice and salmon separately to maintain their textures. You can enjoy the leftovers cold or reheat them in the microwave or oven until heated through.
