Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Glaze
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp honey
- Olive oil, to drizzle
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Bowl Base and Toppings
- 1 cup brown rice (cooked)
- 1 cup fresh alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the salmon.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil, then pour honey evenly over the top. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Bake the salmon: Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. The honey will create a lovely glaze during baking.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon cooked brown rice into serving bowls. Place the warm honey glazed salmon fillets on top of the rice.
- Add fresh sprouts: Finish by topping each bowl with a generous handful of fresh alfalfa sprouts to add a crunchy, fresh contrast to the salmon and rice.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while the salmon is warm for a delicious and balanced meal.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for different textures or dietary preferences.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can brush on a second layer of honey halfway through baking.
- To make this dish gluten-free, simply ensure your brown rice is certified gluten-free.
- Alfalfa sprouts add freshness but can be substituted with microgreens or arugula if preferred.
