Ingredients

3 Cups Jasmine Rice, Uncooked
3 Lb Skin-On Salmon Fillets
3 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, Grated
0.5 Cup Soy Sauce
3 Tbsp Honey
2 Lb Broccoli Florets
2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds

Instructions

Cook jasmine rice: Rinse jasmine rice; cook 1:1.25 with water 15 minutes. Fluff and hold covered.
Sear salmon fillets: Pat salmon fillets dry; salt lightly. Sear skin-side down in a hot oiled skillet 4 minutes until skin crisps. Flip; cook 2–3 minutes until center is 125°F for medium or 145°F if the crew prefers well-done.
Steam broccoli and glaze: Steam broccoli 4 minutes until bright green. Whisk soy, grated ginger, and honey; brush over salmon in the last minute of cooking.
Build ginger salmon bowls: Rice, flaked salmon, broccoli, extra ginger glaze, and sesame seeds. Ginger Salmon Rice Bowls taste best when the glaze is warm and broccoli still has snap.

Tonight's spread

Set rice or grain in the first pan, main in the second, crunchy toppings last so textures stay distinct.
Put hot components closest to the crew, cold crunch at the far end of the line.
Portion bowls on the line with protein visible on top — crew eats with their eyes first.
Keep dressing and crunchy toppings in side bowls so greens stay crisp through second servings.
Line up Ginger Salmon Rice Bowls on the main counter with serving spoons — firefighters grab fast between calls.
Keep a backup tray warm in the oven at 200°F for late arrivals after a run.

Hall tips

Keep a backup tray warm in the oven for late calls — nothing worse than cold plates after a run.
Taste for salt at the end — hall palates run salty after long shifts.

Substitutions

Frozen shrimp is fine — thaw under cold running water and pat very dry.

Leftovers

Cool leftovers in shallow containers within two hours — deep pots stay hot too long.
Label trays with date and reheat to 165°F minimum before second shift.
