INGREDIENTS

  • 100g salmon fillet
  • 50g cooked brown rice
  • 50g spinach
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

  • Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper. This helps to enhance its natural flavour and allows for even cooking.
  • Cook the salmon: Heat a non-stick pan over medium flame. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Set aside.
  • Prepare the spinach: In the same pan, sauté the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. This adds depth of flavour while preserving its nutrients.
  • Assemble the bowl: Place the cooked brown rice at the base of a serving bowl. Top with the sautéed spinach and cooked salmon.
  • Add seasoning: Drizzle the soy sauce and lemon juice over the dish for an added umami-rich flavour. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a slight crunch and a nutty aroma.
  • Serve and enjoy: Mix lightly and serve warm for a delicious, nutritious meal.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

10 minutes

TIPS

  • Perfectly Cooked Salmon: Avoid overcooking the salmon by removing it from the heat when it reaches an internal temperature of 52–54°C.
  • Fluffy Brown Rice: Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch, which prevents clumping.
  • Enhance the Flavour: Add a small piece of grated ginger or a dash of garlic powder while sautéing the spinach for extra depth.
  • Make It a Meal Prep Staple: Cook a larger batch of brown rice and salmon in advance and store it in portions for quick, healthy meals throughout the week.

VARIATIONS

  • Different Greens: Swap spinach with kale, bok choy or Swiss chard for variety.
  • Grain Swap: Try quinoa, couscous or cauliflower rice for a different texture or a lower-carb option.
  • Creamier Texture: Add a few avocado slices or a drizzle of tahini for extra richness.
  • Extra Protein: Top with a soft-boiled egg or a handful of edamame for added protein.
  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper or drizzle with sriracha for a touch of heat.
  • Asian-Inspired Twist: Use a teriyaki glaze instead of soy sauce and lemon juice for a sweeter flavour profile.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the salmon and spinach may change upon thawing.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a pan over low heat until through heat. If using a microwave, cover the dish with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
