Directions
- Cook the rice:
Prepare brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside. - Steam the broccoli:
Steam broccoli florets for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to retain color and nutrients. - Sear the salmon:
Pat salmon dry and season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or chili flakes. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon skin-side down for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2–3 minutes until opaque and just cooked through. - Glaze the salmon:
In the last minute of cooking, drizzle honey and soy sauce over the fillet. Allow the glaze to bubble and coat the salmon evenly. Remove from heat. - Assemble the bowl:
Layer the cooked brown rice at the base of a bowl. Add steamed broccoli on one side, then place the glazed salmon fillet on top. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the salmon for extra flavor.
