Simple Salmon Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry rice of any type (or couscous for a quicker meal)
• 1 recipe Tahini Dressing or Miso Dressing
• 1 pound wild caught salmon fillets, skin on
• Olive oil 
• Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, stem on (about 3 large heads or 6 heaping cups florets)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the rice: Start the rice (go to How to Make Rice or Instant Pot Rice in our rice app).
2. Mix the sauce: Make the Tahini Sauce or Miso Sauce (or make in advance and refrigerate). 
3. Broil the salmon**: Preheat the broiler to high. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil skin side down. Brush salmon with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt (evenly divided among the fillets) and fresh ground pepper. Broil 4 to 5 minutes for very thin salmon or 7 to 10 minutes for 1-inch thick salmon, until it’s just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit in the center). 
4. Meanwhile, make the broccoli: Chop the broccoli into medium sized florets. In small bowl, mix together ¼ cup water with the garlic powder, onion powder and mustard powder. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet and heat it on medium high heat. Add broccoli and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium, and add the water and spices. Cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes until fork tender, stirring occasionally. Taste and add additional salt and black pepper as necessary. Serve immediately.
