Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the salmon: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prep veggies.
Par-cook vegetables: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Blanch for 1 minute, then drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside.
Cook the salmon: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. Remove salmon from marinade, pat dry, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Remove and let rest on a plate.
Stir-fry aromatics: In the same skillet, add ginger and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add veggies: Return drained vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender. Season lightly with a splash of soy sauce if desired.
Assemble bowls: Divide brown rice among 4 bowls. Top with stir-fried veggies and a salmon fillet. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
