- Total Time: 65 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General, Healthy
Description
A vibrant and satisfying salmon rice bowl featuring a fresh mango cucumber salsa, perfect for healthy weeknight meals. This easy-to-make dish is balanced, flavorful, and family-approved.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets (wild-caught or sustainably farmed)
- 1.5 cups uncooked brown rice (or jasmine, sushi rice)
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced (or 1 cup frozen mango, thawed and patted dry)
- 1 English cucumber (or 2 Persian cucumbers), diced
- 0.5 small red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 fresh lime, juiced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Cook Salmon: Cook salmon using your preferred method: bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or pan-sear with 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Dice Salsa Ingredients: Dice 1 ripe mango, 1 English cucumber, and 0.5 red onion into small, even pieces. Finely chop 0.25 cup fresh cilantro.
- Combine Salsa: In a small bowl, combine the diced mango, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Squeeze in the juice of 1 fresh lime. Stir gently until well mixed. Let the salsa sit for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Cook Rice: Cook 1.5 cups rice according to package directions until fluffy and tender.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with a cooked salmon fillet and a generous scoop of the fresh mango cucumber salsa.
- Prepare Dressing: Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice until well combined.
- Serve: Drizzle the prepared dressing over each salmon rice bowl.
Notes
For best results, use fresh mango and crisp cucumber. Consider cauliflower rice for low-carb or add edamame for extra protein. If salsa is watery, drain excess liquid before serving.
