Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup brown rice

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided in half (3 tablespoons total)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided in half (2 tablespoons total)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 4 ounces salmon fillet, skin on and sliced into bite-sized pieces

  • 3 cups thinly sliced red bell pepper

  • Cup of Fish stock

Directions:

  • Cook the onions in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  • While the onions are cooking, heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a medium saucepan.

  • Stir to combine, but do not stir when adding the soy sauce.

  • Add the stock to each of the 4 sides of the pan to form a ball.

  • Place 2.5 oz of the salmon stock on top of this ball in your slow cooker.

  • Cook in the broth mixture until it is slightly cooked through (about 1 minute), then add the remaining 5 to 12 ounces of fish stock.

  • Stir to coat the surface of the bottom of the slow cooker. 

  • Cook until soft.

  • Add the garlic, bell peppers and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

  • Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

  • Add the bell peppers, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water to the skillet.

  • Cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid starts to thicken into a sauce.

  • Stir in salmon pieces with remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through.

  • Place the salmon on top of the onions and cook for 3 minutes, flip both pieces over and cook for 3 more minutes.

  • Add the cooked rice, scallions and sesame seeds to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  • In the meantime, microwave your broccoli until tender-crisp (about 4 minutes) then set aside to cool slightly before adding it to your mixture.

  • I also suggest cutting some extra veggies aside at this step. Pre-cooking the veggies will also work, but it will take about 2 minutes before sautéing or in the oven (you can do it for a while to reduce the heat, but really I find the heat to be a little bit less intense when you're doing that) and if you're not so fond of sautéing sautéing is quite the opposite.

  • I like to sauté my vegetables because it is the best way to retain the nutrients in your veggies. Sautéing is also a great way to add more flavor and texture to your dish.

  • Using either a rice cooker or stovetop method, prepare brown rice according to package instructions (usually 1 part uncooked rice : 2 parts water).

  • Set aside once done and cool slightly before adding it to your stir fry mixture.. Once the rice is done, stir it into the rest of the ingredients and cook for 3 minutes until heated through.

This recipe is quick and easy to make.

This is a great dish for those who are looking to cut down on carbs. The brown rice is low-glycemic, and therefore won’t spike your blood sugar the way white rice would. It also contains more fiber and minerals than white rice does.

This dish is packed with protein and fiber, so it will keep you full for hours after eating it. Plus, it has omega-3 fatty acids from both the salmon and the edamame beans (which are technically seeds), which helps your body rebuild muscle after exercise. The edamame beans also contain magnesium, which can help reduce muscle cramps and soreness. This dish is simple to make, but it does take a little time to cook. You will need to marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes before cooking it, so plan ahead.
