Grilled Salmon Rice Plate Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

For the Rice:

• 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
• 2 cups water or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt, to taste

For the Vegetables:

• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Salmon:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
   • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
2. Cook the Rice:
   • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
   • In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly toasted.
   • Add water or chicken broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
   • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
   • Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Grill the Salmon:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
   • Alternatively, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
5. Assemble the Plate:
   • Spoon a portion of cooked rice onto each plate.
   • Top with grilled salmon fillets.
   • Arrange roasted vegetables around the salmon and rice.
   • Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley or dill.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve the Grilled Salmon Rice Plate immediately while everything is warm. Enjoy a delicious, healthy meal!
