Crispy Salmon Bulgur Grain Bowl with Grilled Summer Vegetables // The Sound of Cooking Video

This grain bowl is perfect for the day after Fourth of July when you have some leftover grilled vegetables. Throw this dish together in less than 30 minutes for a complete meal. Bulgur is a whole grain that is both easy to cook and has a delicious nutty flavor. It only takes about 12 minutes to cook and still has a slightly chewy bite that makes eating bulgur in grain bowls and salads quite satisfying. I like to cook it with low sodium chicken or vegetable stock to give it extra flavor. Top it with your choice of leftover or freshly grilled vegetables and this pan-seared crispy salmon fillet. A little bit of lemon juice, salt, and ground white pepper bring out the natural flavors. Here we use grilled bok choy, kohlrabi, and persian cucumber. You won’t regret trying grilled cucumber if you haven’t had it before! The heat from grilling enhances the juiciness of cucumbers while you still get the crunch.

Cooking Bulgur: Heat a small pot on medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toast 1 cup of bulgur in the heated pot for 10-15 seconds until fragrant, then add 2 cups of low sodium chicken stock. Stir, allow to heat up to boil, and turn down to simmer for 12 minutes until bulgur is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. 01:37 2. Carrot Preparation: Place julienned carrots into 3 cups of ice water. This gives the carrot pieces a pretty curl and helps the cut carrots stay crunchy. 03:30 3. Grilling Vegetables: Prepare vegetables while bulgur is simmering. Heat grill until smoking hot, then oil grill. Grill prepared baby bok choy, kohlrabi, and cucumber for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, add salt and fresh lemon juice. Cut into bite-sized pieces. 04:13 4. Cooking Salmon: Season both sides of salmon fillets with ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt and 1 small pinch of ground white pepper right before cooking. Heat a 10 inch pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil when the pan is hot (starts to slightly smoke). Sear salmon fillets skin-side down first, allowing more than half of the fish to cook. You can tell by the change of color from the side of the fillets. Flip the fillets once the skin becomes golden brown and crispy (about 2 minutes depending on the thickness). Cook until the center of the thickest portion of the fillet is warm. Use a cake tester to test the thickest portion and then touch the tip of the tester on the skin right below your lower lip (it should be warm to touch). Season with fresh lemon juice and remove from the pan. 06:48 5. Bulgur Grain Bowl Assembly: Divide cooked bulgur evenly between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with cooked salmon, skin-side up, grilled vegetables, and julienned carrots. NOTES: Grilled vegetables and cooked bulgur can be seasoned to personal taste. Adding a splash of fresh lemon juice will brighten up the flavors without having to add more salt.
