Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups mixed seasonal greens (spinach, kale, or spring mix)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to create the honey glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry. Brush half of the honey glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
  4. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the salmon bakes, prepare your bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa or rice between two bowls. Top with the mixed greens, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  6. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Brush the remaining honey glaze over the hot salmon.
  7. Carefully place one salmon fillet on top of each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can quickly sear the salmon in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before glazing and finishing in the oven.
  • Use fresh seasonal vegetables like roasted sweet potatoes or steamed broccoli for variety.
  • If you prefer a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos in the glaze.
