    Maple Soy Glazed Salmon Rice Bowls

    May 8, 2018 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Apr 1, 2022

    Jump to Recipe

    These maple soy glazed salmon rice bowls are maple syrup and soy glazed salmon, with sauteed spinach and rice.

    So often eating involves an bit of compromise. Sometimes, we compromise healthy for delicious. Other times, we compromise delicious for healthy. In the middle though, there are some dishes that manage to be both healthy and delicious at the same time. And I love it when I discover them!

    These Maple Soy Salmon Bowls use healthy salmon, lots of spinach and rice for both hearty and delicious bowl. The sauce is a simple combination of lime juice, maple syrup and soy sauce and cooks up super quickly on the stove-top. Once cooked, this easy sauce is used to glaze the salmon as it cooks, to slightly flavour the spinach and to spoon over the salmon once cooked. And you'll even have a bit left for the rice.

    Cook's Notes

    Make it even healthier, by swapping the white rice with brown rice, other grain or cauliflower rice.

    Ingredients
     

    Rice:

    • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
    • 2 cups less 2 Tbsp water
    • 2 Tbsp lime juice
    • Pinch salt

    Sauce:

    • 1 Tbsp butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped or minced
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 6 Tbsp pure maple syrup
    • 1 tsp lime zest
    • 6 Tbsp fresh lime juice
    • 6 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

    Spinach:

    • 1 tsp cooking oil

    Prevent screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oven to 400°F.
    • Cook rice: Cook 1 cup dried rice with water, lime juice and salt.
    • Make Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic and pepper flakes until garlic starts to colour, about 1 minute. Add maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and soy sauce. Cook until mixture boils. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water. Add to sauce and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
    • Cook Salmon: Arrange salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet (for easy clean up). Season salmon with a bit of salt and pepper. Spread 1-2 tsp of the sauce over each fillet. Roast in preheated oven until just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the spinach.
    • Cook Spinach: In a medium skillet, heat oil and sauce over medium heat. Add 1/2 of the spinach and sauté until just wilted. Remove from pan and set aside. Repeat with second 1/2 of spinach.
    • To serve: Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top each with 1/4 of the spinach and 1 salmon fillet, broken into large pieces. Drizzle with remaining sauce and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds. Serve with a lime wedge for drizzling and any extra sauce (nice with the rice).

      This was delicious and fast. Next time I will only make half the sauce as there was a lot left over. I have frozen it for the next time I make this. Thanks for the recipe.

        Hi Diana and thanks so much. I actually found these dishes at a thrift shop. They have no identification other than a white "N" on the bottom.

      The combination of ingredients sounded so good. And it was! It showed me that I have to brush up on my white basmati cooking skills (so used to brown basmati rice done in the Instant Pot).

        So glad you enjoyed it, Irene :) You could certainly use brown basmati here, if you prefer, too.
