Directions

To make the bowls:

Step 1

Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a rapid boil. After the water is rapidly boiling, turn off heat and let stand for 13 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water, cool for about 10 minutes, then peel. Crumble the eggs by slicing them in half, then smash with a fork into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil with garlic in a large skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and just tender. Stir in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate to cool and wipe out the skillet.

Step 4

Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and when the oil is hot, add salmon. Cook, without moving the fillets, for 6 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook about 2 minutes longer until opaque throughout.

To make the dressing:

Step 1

Whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Slowly pour in olive oil and sesame oil until emulsified.

Step 2

Whisk in the sesame seeds and season with pepper.

To assemble the bowls:

Step 1

Divide the brown rice among 4 resealable containers.

Step 2

Top each with eggs, asparagus-scallion mixture and salmon. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and sesame seeds.

Step 3

Reserve the dressing (about 2 tablespoons per serving) on the side until ready to serve.
