Ingredients
Baked Salmon
- 4 filets of wild-caught Alaskan salmon
- 3 tbps olive oil
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 4 thin slices of lemon
Yellow Rice
- 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon onion powdere
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Broccolini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups of broccolini or broccoli
- flakey sea salt
Instructions
Baked Salmon and Broccolini
- Preheat your oven to 400. Grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the salmon filets on the baking sheet (leave room for the broccolini) and then drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Top with lemon wedges.
- On the same baking sheet, place the broccolini that has been coated with olive oil. Season the broccolini with flakey sea salt. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
Yellow Rice
- To make your rice, use a medium sized sauce pan and fill it with the rice, chicken broth, and olive oil. Bring this to high heat. Once the water is boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the temp to medium low. Cook for 15-17 minutes until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid and is fluffy.
Serving the Salmon and Rice
- Serve your salmon and broccolini over a bed of rice (about ⅔ cup of rice per serving). We love pairing this with a bit of avocado and some lemon wedges too. Enjoy!
