For this week's recipe, we're heading to a mom 'n' pop joint in Apopka, a place that's a dream come true for the owner.

"Two years ago, I turned 50 and my wife goes, 'If you want to do it, you better do it now because you're never going to,'" said Terence Phillips, a self-proclaimed computer geek.

So he took his hand off the mouse and traded it for a spatula. Now, he's showing us his signature salmon "bowl" featured at Something Fishy.

"It's kind of a fusion between a lot of the different foods that we like to eat as a family," he said.

This dish has three layers - the tomato/corn/bean salsa, the cilantro lime jasmine rice, and the salmon fillets seared in a sesame-soy sauce mixture.

A few tips:

1). Chef recommends adding oil to the beans to keep them from getting dull.

2.) Rinse the jasmine rice, let it settle, then repeat two more times. This gets rid of the extra starch. 

3.) Do the same with the beans.

Let's cook!
