Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook until the flesh flakes easily, another 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the 2 cups cooked rice between two bowls. Flake the salmon over the rice, discarding the skin if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle 1 tbsp soy sauce over each bowl and top with the 0.5 cup chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
