Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rinsed rice with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in the skillet; sear for about 4 minutes without moving.
- Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until done but still moist inside.
- In another pan or beside the salmon, sauté mixed vegetables in remaining oil for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Fluff cooked rice with a fork; divide among bowls. Top with crispy salmon and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with soy sauce mixed with lemon juice.
