Method
- Cook the rice
Prepare your rice first so it’s ready to go. Packet rice works just as well if you’re short on time. - Prepare the salmon
Mix the soy sauce and honey together. Spoon the mixture over the salmon fillet. - Cook the salmon
The salmon should be just cooked and flake easily (Air Fryer: cook at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, Oven: cook at 200°C for 15–18 minutes). - Assemble the bowl
Spoon rice into a bowl and top with tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado. Drizzle with roasted sesame dressing. - Finish and serve
Place the salmon on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Easy swaps and shortcuts
- Use any grain you like, including microwave rice or quinoa blends
- Add extra veg depending on what’s in the fridge
- A soft or boiled egg works as an optional extra
- Adjust the honey-to-soy ratio if you prefer it sweeter or saltier
