Ingredients
  

For the Bowl
  • 2 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin on
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice uncooked
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup edamame shelled and cooked
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Drizzle
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Saucepan
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions. Typically, this involves combining 1 cup of rice with 1.5 to 2 cups of water, bringing to a boil, then simmering covered for 15 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel. Season the skin and flesh generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot pan. Press down gently on the fillets for 10 seconds to ensure the skin makes full contact. Cook for 4-6 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden.
  4. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan.
  5. Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top with a crispy salmon fillet, sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, and edamame.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil. Drizzle this sauce over the bowls and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
