Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets - fresh or thawed

  • 2 tablespoons store-bought Teriyaki sauce

  • 3 cups chopped broccoli

  • 1 cup jasmine rice

  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

  • 2 scallions, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  • garlic powder (to taste)

  • onion powder (to taste)

  • salt (to taste)

  • fresh cracked pepper (to taste)

  • red pepper flake (optional)

Directions

  • Pour Teriyaki sauce over salmon fillets to marinate while other food is prepped. Make sure you coat both sides of the salmon.

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and red pepper flake (if using). Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

  • Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions, or in a rice cooker. Once cooked, stir in lime zest, lime juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt.

  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Once oil is heated, add chopped garlic (if using) and the salmon fillets.

  • Reserve excess marinade.

  • Cook salmon approximately 4 minutes per side, depending on fillet thickness, or to desired doneness.

  • In the last two minutes of cooking, add excess marinade and allow to caramelize on the salmon.

  • Serve 1 salmon fillet with rice and half of the broccoli. Garnish with chopped scallions.
