Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by preheating a large skillet over medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of about 375°F (190°C), for 3-5 minutes.
Pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on top.
Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes.
Gently flip the salmon fillets and cook on the flesh side for another 3-4 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, warm your rice in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of soy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the bowl by placing the warm rice into serving bowls, adding the salmon on top and surrounding with vegetables.
Finish off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the entire dish.
