Instructions
  1. 1

    Bake the salmon

    Preheat oven to 400°. If starting with a 1-pound fillet, cut it into four 4-ounce portions. Place the salmon in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pan and brush with 1/4 cup of the sesame ginger dressing. Bake until the fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 8-10 minutes.

  1. 2

    Season the rice

    Meanwhile, toss the hot cooked brown rice with the chopped fresh cilantro and salt.

  2. 3

    Build the bowls

    Divide the rice mixture among 4 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, the julienned carrot and, if desired, thinly sliced red cabbage. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup dressing.

Notes & Tips

24g of protein per bowl for 486 calories, and the salmon is doing all the heavy lifting. Brown rice keeps it filling with real fiber instead of empty carbs, and the store-bought sesame ginger dressing means you get all the flavor in about 15 minutes flat. This one preps great: bake the salmon, portion it over rice, and you've got lunches ready to grab. Want it lighter? Swap in cauliflower rice or cut the rice to 2 cups and pile on more carrot and cabbage for crunch.
