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 alfalfa sprouts
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the salmon evenly.
- Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet generously with honey and a little olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the glaze coats the fish nicely.
- Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the honey glaze becomes slightly caramelized.
- Assemble Bowl: Spoon the cooked brown rice into serving bowls, place the baked honey glazed salmon fillets on top, and finish by adding fresh alfalfa sprouts for a crisp, refreshing contrast.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a different texture or dietary preference.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon briefly in honey and olive oil before baking.
- Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety.
