Instructions
Creating Delicious Honey Glazed Salmon Bowls is simple. Follow these steps to make your meal:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Cook the Quinoa/Rice: While the salmon is marinating, cook the quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the mixed vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Salmon: In the same skillet, add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice at the bottom. Top with sautéed vegetables and a salmon fillet.
7. Drizzle with Glaze: Spoon any remaining marinade over the salmon and vegetables for added flavor.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
These steps will guide you in creating delicious and visually appealing salmon bowls effortlessly.
