Instructions
- Prep Salmon: Place salmon chunks in a bowl. Sprinkle generously with blackened seasoning. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss again. Set aside.
- Prep Dill Sauce: Combine Dill Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Store in refrigerator until serving.
- Make Corn Salad Dressing: in a small bowl combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, kosher salt and ground black pepper. Whisk to combine. Taste and add any additional salt, as desired.
- Combine Corn Salad: Add corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion and cucumber to a medium bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Make Rice: Add rice, water, salt and butter to a medium saucepan. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer and cover for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes (don’t uncover). Then fluff with fork.
- Cook Salmon: While the rice is simmering, cook your salmon. Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan. In 2 batches, add seasoned salmon chunks to the pan and sear on all sides. Reduce heat a bit and continue cooking until fully cooked (internal temp of 130-135 degrees F.). Remove and set on plate.
- Build Salmon Bowls: Divide rice, grilled corn salad and salmon bites between bowls. Top with dill sauce. Feel free to garnish with some fresh cracked black pepper and some freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- *Blackened Seasoning: we love our homemade blackened seasoning, but feel free to use a store-bought version if you prefer and it makes life easier.
- **Amount of Salmon: feel free to use more salmon if you want – we assumed a 4oz portion was one serving so if you want more salmon in your bowl, add more as desired.
- ***Grilled Corn: you can definitely just use thawed frozen corn if you prefer, but for best results (and flavor) use grilled corn.
- Air Fryer Salmon Bites: feel free to cook the salmon bites in the air fryer!
