About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz salmon fillet
- 1 cup short‑grain rice
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp soy butter (or regular butter mixed with soy sauce)
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tsp chili paste or sriracha
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 lime wedge
Instructions
- 11. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 1.5 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12‑15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Set aside.
- 22. While the rice cooks, pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- 33. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then place the salmon pieces skin‑side down (if skin is on). Cook for 3‑4 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- 44. In the same skillet, add the soy butter (or butter plus a splash of soy sauce). Once melted, stir in the chili paste or sriracha and cook for 30 seconds to release the heat.
- 55. Add the washed spinach to the skillet, tossing continuously until just wilted, about 1‑2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt if needed, then remove from heat.
- 66. Assemble the bowls: place a generous portion of the seasoned sesame rice at the bottom of each bowl.
- 77. Top the rice with the cooked salmon pieces, arranging them evenly.
- 88. Add the soy‑butter spinach beside the salmon.
- 99. Garnish each bowl with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and a lime wedge on the side for a fresh burst of acidity.
- 1010. Serve immediately while warm, allowing diners to squeeze lime over the bowl and mix the components together before eating.
