Asian Salmon Bowl with Lime Drizzle

This vibrant Asian salmon bowl with lime drizzle is a nutritious, high-protein meal that balances sweet and savoury flavours beautifully. The succulent roasted salmon fillets are coated in a glossy maple and soy glaze, brightened by a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. Served over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice with tender wilted spinach, it offers a satisfying variety of textures and a sophisticated finish from the toasted black sesame seeds.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a healthy post-workout meal, this dish is as efficient as it is delicious. The recipe uses simple store-cupboard staples like soy sauce and cornflour to create a restaurant-quality glaze in minutes. For the best results, ensure the salmon is roasted until just opaque, allowing the citrus-infused juices to soak into the rice for a truly aromatic bowl.

Ingredients for Asian Salmon Bowl with Lime Drizzle

  • 230g jasmine rice

  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

  • 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes

  • 45ml pure maple syrup

  • 45ml fresh lime juice

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon cornflour

  • 4 salmon fillets (110g each), skin removed

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil

  • 2 packages (140g each) baby spinach

  • 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds

Heat oven to 204°C. Cook rice as directed on package. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic and pepper flakes until garlic is lightly golden, 1 minute. Add syrup, juice and soy sauce; cook until bubbling, 3 minutes. In a bowl, combine cornflour and 1 teaspoon water; stir into garlic glaze. Cook until slightly thick, 1 minute. Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread 1 teaspoon glaze over each fillet. Roast until just cooked through, 12 minutes. In a medium skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Add 1 package spinach; sauté until just wilted. Remove from pan; set aside. Repeat with second package spinach. Divide rice among 4 bowls; top each with 1/4 spinach and 1 salmon fillet, broken into large pieces. Drizzle with remaining sauce; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds.
