Ingredients
  

  • 1 small orange
  • 14 oz broccoli rice 400 g
  • 12 oz green asparagus (fresh or frozen) 350 g
  • 10 oz edamame beans 300 g
  • 12 oz canned sweet corn 340 g
  • 7 oz radishes 200 g
  • 9 oz hot smoked salmon fillets 250 g
  • 5 oz carrot julienne 150 g
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh chives
  • Lime
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by zesting the orange and squeezing the juice. Set aside for later.
  • Make the broccoli rice in a food processor, or use a store-bought broccoli rice.
  • Bring the orange juice with the zest to the boil in a frying pan and add the broccoli rice. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the juice has evaporated, stir regularly and let it cool.
  • Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
  •  Cook the frozen edamame beans according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Drain the canned sweet corn.
  • Slice the Radishes into thin rounds. Make the carrot julienne: Use a julienne peeler to create thin strips of carrot. Flake the hot smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces, removing any bones.
  • Assemble your Broccoli Rice Bowl: Place a generous portion of the steamed broccoli rice at the bottom of each serving bowl. Arrange the colorful veggies over the broccoli rice. Top with flaked pieces of salmon. Drizzle with olive oil and season. Garnish with fresh chives. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Toppings: Experiment with additional toppings like toasted sesame seeds, crushed nuts (such as almonds or cashews), or crispy fried shallots for extra texture and flavor.
  2. Sauce Options: Consider drizzling your bowl with a complementary sauce. A homemade citrus vinaigrette, a soy-ginger dressing, or a creamy tahini sauce can take this dish to the next level.
  3. Meal Prep: This recipe is perfect for meal prepping. Make a larger batch, portion it into containers, and have healthy lunches ready to go for the week.
  4. Protein Variations: While hot smoked salmon is a delicious choice, you can also use other proteins like grilled chicken, seared tofu, or even shrimp to suit your dietary preferences.
  5. Fresh Herbs: Experiment with different fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for added freshness and aroma.
