Salmon & Avocado Rice Bowl

Instructions:

1. Prepare the rice:
Cook 1/2 cup of rice according to package instructions. Once done, let it cool slightly.

2. Cook the salmon:
Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a splash of lime juice. Grill or pan-sear them on medium heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly golden on the outside. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.

3. Prep the veggies:
Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips or cubes. You can also lightly salt the cucumber for extra flavor.

4. Assemble the bowl:
In each serving bowl, add a bed of rice. Top with the cooked salmon (whole or flaked), avocado, and cucumber.

5. Add finishing touches:
Drizzle with low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for texture and extra flavor.

6. Optional:
Garnish with pickled ginger or chopped scallions for a fresh kick.
