Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and 1.5 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp sesame oil to create the glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy edges form. Flip and brush generously with half the ginger-soy glaze. Cook another 3-4 minutes until salmon is just cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon and spoon remaining glaze over the fillets.
  5. Step 5: To assemble, divide jasmine rice among 4 bowls, top with seared salmon, and arrange 1 sliced cucumber, 1 julienned carrot, and 2 sliced green onions around the salmon. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top and serve warm.
