Ingredients
- 2 fillet salmon fillet
- 1 cup rice
- 3 cups spinach
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp spicy seasoning
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- 1Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 1 ½ cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 12‑15 minutes until the rice is tender.
- 2While the rice cooks, pat the salmon fillets dry and rub each with 1 tsp of the spicy seasoning, ensuring an even coating.
- 3Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat and add a drizzle of sesame oil.
- 4Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin‑side down (if skin is present) and sear for 3‑4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3‑4 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
- 5Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest on a plate while you prepare the greens.
- 6In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil and toss in the washed spinach; sauté for 1‑2 minutes, stirring constantly, until just wilted.
- 7In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, softened butter, and an extra pinch of the spicy seasoning to create a silky soy‑butter drizzle.
- 8Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in a drizzle of sesame oil for extra aroma (optional).
- 9To assemble, divide the rice between two bowls, top each with a salmon fillet and a generous handful of sautéed spinach.
- 10Drizzle the soy‑butter sauce evenly over both bowls, then finish with a light sprinkle of any remaining spicy seasoning for extra heat.
- 11Serve immediately while the rice is warm and the salmon is still slightly hot.
