Salmon Rice Bowls Ingredients

• Rice: I prepare brown rice in portions and freeze it so I can pop it in the microwave anytime. You can also buy frozen brown rice.
• Salmon Rice Bowl Sauce: Sweet red chilli sauce, sriracha, freshly grated ginger.
• Salmon: Use a six-ounce fillet. The fish can be fresh or frozen and thawed.
• Baby bok choy: Halve a pak choi lengthways.
• Taste: Season the pak choi with a pinch of salt and some sesame oil.

How to make microwave salmon rice bowls

Here’s how I make this easy salmon rice bowl recipe.

1. I partially reheat the frozen rice in a microwave-safe bowl covered with a vent. I love the Anyday glass bowls because they come with a lid and are so well made. Use discount code: SKINNYTASTE for 10% off the Meal Prep Set
2. Mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
3. Once the rice is warm, add the baby bok choy and salmon to the bowl and drizzle some sesame oil and a pinch of salt over the bok choy.
4. Next, brush the glaze over the fish and place it back in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. They have perfectly poached salmon and steamed veggies.

variations

• Rice: Replace brown rice with white rice. If you don’t have frozen rice, you can make your own or buy a microwaveable rice bag for faster cooking.
• Low carbohydrates: Swap the rice for cauliflower rice.
• Vegetables: If you can’t find baby bok choy, fresh spinach, broccoli, cauliflower rice, or edamame will also work.
• Spicy Salmon Rice Bowls: These bowls pack a little kick, but feel free to add more sriracha if you like extra spicy food.
