Ingredients

4 servings

For the rice

1 ½ cups jasmine rice, rinsed
2 ¼ cups water
¼ tsp salt

For the sauce

3 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp garlic-infused oil

For the salmon

4 salmon fillets (about 5–6 oz each), skin-on
1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the bowls

2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned or coarsely grated
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Combine the jasmine rice, water, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and let it steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated ginger, sesame oil, and 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
