Description
This Salmon Bowl is a flavorful and healthy option packed with juicy salmon, zesty orange, and savory soy sauce, making it perfect for a quick dinner or a wholesome meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillets cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 large orange juiced and zested (about ½ cup of juice and 1 teaspoon of zest)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and season it with ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Add the salmon and toss gently, then let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Using a slotted spoon, take the salmon out of the marinade (keeping the marinade) and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring, until lightly browned. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add the salmon back to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Serve the salmon over cooked rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
