Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 4 cups mixed greens (spinach or arugula)
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Rice: If using leftover rice, ensure it's cold for optimal crispiness. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Crisp Up the Rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet in an even layer. Press down gently with a spatula and cook undisturbed until golden brown on one side, about five minutes.
  3. Cook the Salmon: In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for about four minutes per side or until flaky.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey until blended.
  5. Assemble Your Salad: In a large bowl, mix mixed greens with half of the dressing. Add crispy rice and top with salmon fillets. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top and serve immediately for optimal texture.
