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!
