  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the glaze: Whisk soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  3. Marinate the salmon: Brush fillets with half the glaze and let sit 10 minutes.
  4. Bake or pan-sear: Bake 12–15 minutes (or pan-sear 5–6 minutes per side) until salmon flakes easily. Brush with remaining glaze.
  5. Assemble bowls: Layer rice, broccoli, carrots, and salmon in meal prep containers. Sprinkle sesame seeds.
  6. Serve or store: Enjoy warm or store up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently and add a spoon of extra sauce for moisture.

💡 Tips & Variations
Use quinoa instead of rice for more fiber and micronutrients.
Add a side of steamed edamame for extra plant protein.
For meal prep, portion the sauce separately to keep fish fresh.
Swap salmon for tofu to make it pescatarian-to-vegan friendly.
Add a squeeze of lime before serving to brighten flavors.
