Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

  • 4 Salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

For the Herbed Tahini:

  • 1/3 cup Tahini
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1/2 cup Packed cilantro and/or mint leaves
  • Salt to taste

For the Bowls:

  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked brown rice
  • 1 Cucumber sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and salt to make the marinade for the salmon.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
  • While the salmon is marinating, prepare the herbed tahini. In a blender or food processor, combine the tahini, olive oil, lime juice, and packed cilantro and/or mint leaves. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
  • Cook the brown rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil.
  • Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the salmon is baking, assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked brown rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with cucumber slices.
  • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and place one fillet on top of each rice bowl.
  • Drizzle the herbed tahini over the salmon and rice bowls.
  • Garnish with additional cilantro and/or mint leaves, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
  • Enjoy your delicious Crunchy Brown Rice Bowls with Salmon and Herbed Tahini!
