- 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
- 2 cups cooked brown rice

Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and coat them with the marinade. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Rice and Vegetables
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. For added flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
- While the rice is cooking, slice the bell pepper and avocado, and shred the carrots. Set them aside for assembly.
Assemble the Bowls

- Sprinkle sesame seeds over each bowl for added flavor and texture.
Serving and Storage
- Serve the salmon rice bowls warm, garnished with extra lemon wedges if desired.
