Maple-Glazed Salmon Bowls

Published on January 6, 2019 by Stephanie Kay

Sweet and sticky, these maple-glazed salmon bowls are super simple to prepare, not to mention a perfectly well-balanced meal. This maple-glazed salmon can be served on its own in under 30 minutes or whip up the entire bowl for a hearty and healthy weeknight meal.

Maple-Glazed Salmon with Brown Rice

I get that salmon is not everyone’s favorite. If you didn’t grow up eating fish, it can be a bit of an acquired taste but incorporating seafood into your diet is great for overall health. Not only is salmon a great source of protein, but it is a great source of fat, specifically omega-3 fatty acids which many people are lacking in their diet. Two of the easiest ways to make salmon more enjoyable for those who aren’t seafood fans are 1) buying a high-quality source, and 2) adding a great sauce or marinade. Fortunately, with a little know-how – like this recipe – you can create a flavor-packed salmon recipe with minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Maple- Glazed Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • Sea salt
  • Black Pepper

Bowls:

  • 1/2 cup wild rice
  • 2 heads baby bok choy
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Sea salt
  • Sesame seeds, optional
  • Spring onions, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine rice, 1.5 cups of water and a pinch of sea salt in a small pot and bring to a bowl. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 45-50 minutes until rice is tender and can be fluffed with a fork.
  2. Once the rice has been cooking for 20 minutes, preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. In a small bowl, add maple syrup, soy sauce and garlic, and whisk to combine.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin side down in a small baking dish and season with sea salt and black pepper, and cover with maple syrup mixture.
  5. Transfer the salmon to the oven to bake for 20 minutes or until it can be flaked gently with a fork.
  6. When salmon has 10 minutes remaining, cook the bok choy. Heat sesame oil in a pan on medium-high heat, and gently trim ends from bok choy to break into individual leaves.
  7. Add bok choy to the pan, season with a pinch of sea salt and cook for 5-6 minutes until bright green in colour.
  8. Once everything is cooked, prepare the bowls; split the rice evenly between two bowls, top with salmon and bok choy, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onions as desired.

      Hi Stephanie,

      When you cook your rice, do you leave the lid on? You didn’t mention.

        Good question, yes, that would make it easier! But it’s not essential.
