Ingredients
Scale
- 200g fresh salmon fillet
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with curry powder and a pinch of salt.

- Add the diced bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- Flake the cooked salmon into chunks.
- Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked rice, flaked salmon, and sautéed bell peppers.
