Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these bowls while the salmon is piping hot. The contrast with cold cucumbers is absolutely refreshing. Add a squeeze of fresh lime for extra zing. Pair it with a crisp glass of white wine. It is a restaurant-quality meal in your own kitchen.

How to Store Leftovers

These bowls are fantastic for meal prep. Store the salmon and rice separately from the veggies. They will stay fresh for up to three days. Reheat the salmon gently to keep it moist. It is the best desk lunch you will ever have.

Tips for Best Results

• Use skin-on salmon for more moisture.
• Do not overcook the fish.
• Check the temp at 12 minutes.
• Double the glaze for extra sauciness.
• Use fresh garlic for the best kick.
• Salt your cucumbers lightly before serving.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap jasmine rice for quinoa.
• Add pickled ginger for zing.
• Try shrimp instead of salmon.
• Use maple syrup instead of honey.
