Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat salmon dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and half the lemon zest. Place skin-side down on the pan.
Step 3
Spread cooked brown rice and halved cherry tomatoes on the same pan around the salmon. Drizzle everything with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 4
Roast for 12–14 minutes until salmon flakes easily at the thickest point and edges look opaque.
Step 5
Whisk lemon juice, remaining zest, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a dressing.
Step 6
Divide rice and salmon between two bowls. Top with diced avocado, microgreens, and drizzle with lemon dressing.
