Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 fillets salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup brown rice
Toppings
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 sheet seaweed, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (ensure it’s Halal compliant)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method
 

Cooking the Rice
  1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Preparing the Salmon
  1. While the rice is cooking, season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon, cover, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Assembling the Bowl
  1. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it between two bowls. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet, avocado slices, cucumber slices, and seaweed strips.
  2. Drizzle the soy sauce over the top and sprinkle sesame seeds for added crunch.
Serving
  1. Grab your chopsticks or a fork, and enjoy your delicious homemade Salmon Bowl!

Notes

To make your Salmon Bowl even more special, consider swapping out brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter option. Avoid overcooking the salmon; it should be flaky and tender, not dry. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
