    🛒 Ingredients

    • For the Salmon:

      • 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each, skin-on or off)

      • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

      • Salt and pepper to taste

    • For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

      • ¼ cup honey

      • 3 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium or tamari for gluten-free)

      • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

      • 3 cloves garlic, minced or store bought minced garlic

      • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (optional)

      • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (optional for thickening)

    • For the Rice:

      • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice or brown rice

      • 2 cups water

      • Pinch of salt

    • Optional Garnish:

      • Sliced green onions

      • Sesame seeds

      • Steamed broccoli or stir-fried veggies

    👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

    • Cook the Rice

      • Rinse rice well.
      • In a pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes or until tender. Fluff and set aside.
    • Prepare the Sauce

      • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
      • Optional: Stir in cornstarch slurry if you want a thicker sauce.
    • Cook the Salmon

      • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
      • Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear skin-side down (if using) for 4–5 minutes until golden.
      • Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes, or until salmon is nearly cooked through.
    • Add Sauce

      • Pour sauce over salmon. Simmer 2–3 minutes until it thickens and coats the salmon. Spoon sauce over the fillets as they cook.
    • Assemble

      • Serve salmon over rice, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Add steamed veggies if desired.

    💡 Tips & Variations

    • Use air fryer or bake salmon at 400°F for 12–15 minutes for a hands-off method.
    • Swap rice for cauliflower rice or quinoa for a lighter option.
    • Add sautéed spinach, bok choy, or green beans for a full plate.
