I first tried a version of this salmon curry bowl at an LA restaurant. I was immediately obsessed with it, and knew this was something that I could not only recreate at home for a fraction of the price, but it would taste just as good as well. It's also got anti-inflammatory benefits and is a STUNNER of a meal ✨ There's more ingredients in this dish, but don't fear- the recipe is not complex!

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make the black rice in the rice cooker, or by adding to a pot with 1 3/4 c of water on the stove top.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Fluff rice as soon as it's done.
- Chop your baby potatoes into small cubes and transfer to a sheet pan.
- Drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs de provence, and a dash of cayenne on top of the potatoes.
- Combine the spices with the potatoes thoroughly using your hands, then bake for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Wash, then chop about 1 inch off the end of your broccolini.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 c olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper together.
- Using a brush, coat the broccolini with the entirety of the mixture.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Coat your salmon with a drizzle of olive oil, and about 1/2 tsp of the salmon seasoning (per salmon).
- Bake or air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and curry paste to a pan over medium low heat.
- Stir with a spatula until curry paste is dissolved, turn the heat down to low, then add turmeric (optional) to bring out the yellow color.
- Add your potatoes to the pan and sauté for 2 more minutes, then turn the heat off.
- To plate, add half the curry and potatoes to a shallow bowl first, followed by ~1/2 c black rice, a handful of broccolini, salmon on top of the broccolini, and lastly, 1-2 sprigs of dill if desired.
