Asian Salmon Rice Bowl

Asian Salmon Rice Bowl! Seasoned lemon pepper baked salmon served over rice with a hint of sesame oil and served with nori.

Salmon is our go-to when we need something fast and healthy. Whether we are baking it, pan frying it, or broiling it, we’re guaranteed a delicious meal in no time at all. I’m in the camp of cooking your salmon at a higher temperature so I can cook it for a shorter amount of time. Serve it in a salad, eat it with sautéed vegetables or even put the salmon in a tortilla or lettuce wrap.

Ingredients

For the salmon:

• 1 to 2 salmon fillets
• olive oil
• lemon pepper seasoning
• smoked paprika
• salt and pepper if desired

For the rice bowl:

• cooked white or brown rice
• sesame oil
• low sodium soy sauce optional
• sesame seeds or Furikake (Japanese seasoning)
• fresh lemon juice
• seasoned nori shredded

Instructions

For the salmon:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Prep and line a baking sheet. If desired, pat your salmon filet gently with a paper towel. Lightly drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil, season with lemon pepper seasoning from Penzeys Spices and sprinkle on some smoked paprika. Season with just a little more salt and pepper if desired (usually not needed).
• Bake in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon filet. Remove from oven and break into pieces, using a fork.

For the rice bowl:

• To assemble and serve: place some rice into a bowl. Lightly drizzle on just a little touch of sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce, if desired. Top with the salmon. And sprinkle on some sesame seeds, or Furikake (if using), squeeze just a touch of fresh lemon juice to brighten and add a few pieces of seasoned nori on top. Serve and enjoy!
