Soy Glazed Salmon Bowl

miradugm

This Soy Glazed Salmon Bowl is inspired by the vibrant, flavor-packed bowls you crave from your favorite restaurants. The salmon is lacquered in a sweet-salty soy glaze, then broiled for a caramelized finish. Each bite is balanced with fluffy jasmine rice, crisp vegetables, creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch. The dish is visually stunning, with pops of green, orange, and pink, and offers a satisfying mix of textures and umami flavors. It’s a wholesome, quick dinner that feels special enough for guests but easy enough for a weeknight treat.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic to make the glaze.
Pat salmon fillets dry and place them in a shallow dish. Pour half the glaze over the salmon, turning to coat. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
While salmon marinates, rinse jasmine rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff and keep warm.
Preheat broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it. Remove salmon from marinade (discard used marinade) and place skin-side down on the sheet.
Broil salmon for 6-8 minutes, brushing with reserved glaze halfway, until deeply caramelized and cooked to desired doneness.
Divide rice among bowls. Top with spinach, carrot, cucumber, and avocado slices.
Place a salmon fillet on each bowl. Drizzle with remaining glaze.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
