Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Cook rice as directed. I cook mine in a rice cooker, and it takes about 60 minutes. (Or use previously frozen rice.)
  3. Sauté the garlic and pepper flakes with olive oil until garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in maple syrup, tamari sauce, and lime juice and cook until it starts to bubble.
  5. Whisk arrowroot powder into 2 teaspoons of water until mixed thoroughly, then stir into the sauce. Cook until it is thick; about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Place salmon fillets on foil lined baking pan. Top each fillet with 1 teaspoon of sauce. Bake 10-12 minutes or until cooked through (still slightly pink in center).
  7. Meanwhile, add coconut oil to a non-stick pan and put on medium heat. When oil is shimmering add spinach and gently stir until wilted and giving off water. Remove from heat.
  8. Put about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of rice in each bowl, top with 1/4 of the spinach, and then a salmon fillet. Remove the salmon skin as you put it in the bowl.
  9. Top each bowl with 1/4 of the remaining sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
