Salmon And Rice Make A Whole Dinner

A filet of salmon and a pot of rice can carry a whole supper. Add cucumbers or green beans, spoon something creamy or spicy over the top, and nobody asks what else is coming.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when the fish is thawed, the rice cooker is already going, and dinner needs to be done in about half an hour.

Every recipe here is a bowl: the plain Salmon Rice Bowl with zucchini and cucumber, Bang Bang Salmon Rice Bowls with mayo sauce, a Spicy Salmon Rice Bowl with soy sauce and honey, and a teriyaki salmon rice bowl with cubed salmon and green beans.

Quick Tips

1
Pat the salmon dry
Blot both sides with paper towels before seasoning so the surface browns instead of steaming. Two minutes of drying makes a real difference.
2
Start the rice first
White rice needs about 18 minutes plus a 10-minute rest, and salmon cooks in under 15, so get the rice going before you touch the fish.
3
Cube it for teriyaki
Cut salmon into 1-inch pieces so every side picks up glaze; they cook through in 6 to 8 minutes in a hot skillet.
4
Sauce after cooking
Mayo-based bang bang sauce and honey glazes burn fast, so brush or drizzle them on in the last 2 minutes or once the fish is off the heat.
