Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 cup uncooked white rice or brown rice
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Glaze:
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional Garnish: Sesame seeds, sliced green onions
Instructions
Cook the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the trimmed asparagus and shelled edamame with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the honey garlic glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet, leaving space between the fish and vegetables.
Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the salmon. Return to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is sticky and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
To assemble your healthy salmon grain bowl, divide the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the glazed salmon, roasted asparagus, and edamame.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking, watching closely so the honey does not burn.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the leftover glaze mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes until it reduces slightly.
This recipe works well for salmon meal prep bowls; store components separately and reheat just before eating.
