Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked white jasmine rice until water runs clear. Combine rice and 1 1/4 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let rest covered.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until skin is crisp. Flip salmon and brush with half the soy-honey glaze. Cook another 3 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze thickens.
4. Step 4: In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup broccoli florets and 1 julienned medium carrot, sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Toss with remaining soy-honey glaze and cook 1 minute more until vegetables are glossy.
5. Step 5: Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top each with glazed salmon and sesame vegetables. Garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced scallions.
