Description
Every spoonful of this Honey Glazed Salmon Bowl combines sweet glaze, flaky salmon, and fresh vegetables for a perfectly balanced meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and olive oil. The mixture should be smooth and glossy. This simple combination creates the sweet and savory flavor that defines a great Honey Glazed Salmon Bowl.
- Cook the salmon – Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4–5 minutes. As the fish begins to cook, spoon some of the glaze over the top. The honey will slowly caramelize, forming a shiny coating on the salmon.
- Flip and glaze – Carefully flip the salmon and cook another 3–4 minutes. Brush more glaze on top and allow it to thicken slightly in the pan. The edges should become slightly sticky and golden.
- Prepare the bowl base – While the salmon cooks, divide the warm jasmine rice between serving bowls. The rice creates a soft, comforting base that absorbs the extra glaze beautifully.
- Add the toppings – Arrange cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and avocado around the rice. These fresh ingredients add crunch and balance the richness of the fish.
- Assemble the Honey Glazed Salmon Bowl – Place the glazed salmon on top of the rice and vegetables. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the bowl. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
