Description

This curried salmon rice bowl is a quick and flavorful meal, perfect for busy weeknights. Tender salmon coated in aromatic curry spices is served over fluffy rice with sautéed bell peppers and fresh cilantro, all brightened with a squeeze of lemon juice. It’s a nutritious and satisfying dish that comes together in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with curry powder and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the salmon to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side.
  4. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest.
  5. Add the diced bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
  6. Flake the cooked salmon into chunks.
  7. Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked rice, flaked salmon, and sautéed bell peppers.
  8. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to your personal preference.
  • Serve the curried salmon rice bowl warm for optimal enjoyment.
  • Quinoa or cauliflower rice can be substituted for regular rice.
  • Firm tofu or shrimp can be used instead of salmon.
  • Flat-leaf parsley can be used as an alternative to cilantro.
  • Ensure your curry powder is fresh; older spices may require a larger quantity.
