Hoisin Salmon Rice Bowls

Really simple Hoisin Salmon Rice Bowls. And super healthy. And deliciously delicious.

This Hoisin Salmon Rice Bowls recipe came to me after almost ten days of straight up ignoring my kitchen. This is how I make the recipe magic happen, see? Laziness has its perks, in the form of Hoisin salmon over freshly steamed rice and colourful veggies. First I was on vacation, then I was tired, then there were leftovers in the fridge… so many excuses as to why I had to spend my nights on the couch and absent-mindedly scroll through Instagram instead of ACTUALLY cooking food.

Simple. Healthy. Delicious.

So beyond shadow of doubt, this week is all about simple, healthy, and delicious back-to-it cooking routine. Because look what kind of caramelized salmon glory we were missing out on.

There’s just something about food – any food, including but not limited to meat or fish and vegetables – when browned becomes sweet and develops into some kind of caramelized dream. That will never make me stop eating. It’s regular food meets candy meets me drifting on food lovers’ cloud nine.

This recipe one of my most obnoxiously crazy, out of control, too many things all in one bowl but SO GOOD food creations of 2018. It should probably be called, in it’s truest deepest most honest self –> Hoisin Salmon Rice Bowls with roasted red peppers, cucumbers, mango, cherry tomatoes, and radishes. But your mouth has better things to be doing than saying that long jumble of a food name, such as eating said food, so we’ll just say Hoisin Salmon Rice Bowls and know that all those other yums come included.
