Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place salmon fillets on the prepared sheet. (2 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, avocado oil, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of this sauce for drizzling later. Brush the remaining sauce generously over the salmon fillets. (5 minutes)

03

Step

15 mins

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 12-15 minutes. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before handling. (15 minutes)

04

Step

10 mins

While the salmon is baking, prepare the bowls. Divide the cooked brown rice evenly among 4 bowls. Arrange the carrots, snow peas, avocado slices, and red bell pepper juliennes artfully over the rice. (10 minutes)

05

Step

5 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the reserved soy sauce mixture, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, and garlic powder. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency – it should be easily drizzable. (5 minutes)

06

Step

3 mins

Drizzle the peanut sauce over the bowls, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy! (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the salmon in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking.
If you don't have brown rice, quinoa or any other grain of your choice would work well.
Adjust the amount of chili-garlic sauce to control the spice level.
Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumber, edamame, or shredded cabbage.
