Steps

  1. Heat the oven until hot and line a small baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss the carrot and broccoli with half the olive oil. Spread them on the tray and roast for about 20 minutes, turning once, until tender.
  3. Place the salmon on the tray beside the vegetables. Brush it with the remaining oil and bake for 10–12 minutes, until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.
  4. Warm the cooked rice until steaming hot. Flake the salmon and check carefully for any bones.
  5. Serve the rice, salmon, and vegetables in separate sections, with lemon juice on the salmon if desired.

Tips for Salmon, Brown Rice & Roasted Vegetable Bowl

  • A divided plate can help keep the different textures and ingredients separate.
  • Cut vegetables into similarly sized pieces so they soften at a similar pace.
  • Cooked rice can be prepared ahead; cool and refrigerate promptly, then use within 24 hours.

Drink pairing

A dry, light-bodied white wine such as Pinot Grigio
Its crisp, gentle character complements the salmon and roasted vegetables without overwhelming their mild flavors.

0% option: Sparkling water with a lemon wedge

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a sealed container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the vegetables may soften further.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the salmon is cooked?
It should look opaque through the thickest part and separate easily into flakes with a fork.

Can I use frozen vegetables?
Yes. Thaw and drain them first, then roast until tender; they may need a little less time than fresh vegetables.

Can I make the bowl ahead?
You can cook the rice and vegetables ahead and refrigerate them promptly. For the best texture, cook the salmon close to serving time.
