• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 cups brown rice (or wild rice)
• 1 cup baby carrots, halved

Instructions

4. 4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the brown rice, roasted veggies, and salmon filets into meal prep containers. You can squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for extra flavour.
