Spinach Salmon Rice Bowl

Spinach Salmon Rice Bowl

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound salmon, cut into 4 fillets
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • juice from one lime
  • 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 10 oz. spinach
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1-2 tablespoons black sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°. Cook rice as directed. I cook mine in a rice cooker, and it takes about 30 minutes. Sauté the garlic and pepper flakes with olive oil until garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pure maple syrup, soy sauce, and lime juice and cook until it starts to bubble. Whisk cornstarch into 1.5 teaspoons water until mixed thoroughly; stir into the sauce. Cook until it is thick; about 2-3 minutes. Place salmon fillets on foil lined baking pan. Top each fillet with 1 teaspoon of sauce. Bake 12 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. Sauté spinach with a little olive oil in non-stick pan over medium heat. Divide rice equally among 4 bowls; top each bowl with spinach, salmon fillets with the skin removed. Top each bowl with remaining sauce and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
