2 tbsp coconut aminos (organic)
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp garlic (minced, organic)
1 tsp ginger (minced, fresh)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

For the Crispy Rice:

2 cups cooked brown rice (cold or leftover rice works best)
1/3 cup avocado oil

For the Tahini Honey Glaze:

1/3 cup tahini (organic)
1 tbsp olive oil (organic)
2 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)
2 tbsp honey (organic, raw, unfiltered)
1/2 cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
1/2 tsp parsley (dried)
1 tsp garlic (minced, organic)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with avocado oil.
2
Make the salmon glaze: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the honey, coconut aminos, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3
Prepare the crispy rice: In a skillet, heat avocado oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add your cooked brown rice and press it down evenly using a spatula. Let it cook undisturbed for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip any overly dark pieces if needed. You don't want it to burn!
4
Bake the salmon: Place salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, then brush generously with the glaze. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil for 5 minutes.
5
Make the tahini glaze: In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk together tahini, olive oil, lime juice, honey, cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
6
Assemble the bowls: Place the crispy rice onto your serving plates. Top each with a salmon filet, & top each piece of salmon with the tahini glaze. Finish with your desired toppings. Enjoy!
