Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    While the salmon is cooking, chop the heirloom tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, serve the cooked rice, top with seared salmon, and garnish with the chopped heirloom tomatoes. Drizzle the sweet and sour vinaigrette over the top before serving.
