Instructions
Cook the Brown Rice
Rinse brown rice under cold water. Combine with 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 40 to 45 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and season lightly with salt.
Make the Honey Garlic Glaze and Bake Salmon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Place salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet skin side down. Spoon glaze generously over each fillet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
Prepare the Edamame
Cook frozen edamame according to package directions, either boiling for 3 to 4 minutes or microwaving for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and season lightly with salt and a few drops of sesame oil for extra flavor.
Assemble and Store
Divide brown rice among 4 meal prep containers. Break or slice each salmon fillet into large chunks and place on top of the rice. Add edamame alongside the salmon. Drizzle any remaining honey garlic pan juices over the bowl. Allow to cool fully before sealing. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
