Ingredients

For the Salmon

2 fillets salmon fillets Select fresh salmon fillets with bright color and firm texture.
1 tbsp soy sauce Drizzle on top for flavor enhancement.
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

For the Rice and Veggies

2 cups cooked jasmine rice Can substitute with basmati rice or quinoa for gluten-free option.
2 cups broccoli florets
2 sliced carrots
1 medium onion Thinly sliced for caramelizing.
2 tbsp butter For sautéing; can swap with olive oil for dairy-free.
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic Minced.

Method

Preparation

Rinse jasmine rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook according to package instructions, ensuring fluffy grains.
In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 15 minutes until they turn golden and soft.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic, then add broccoli and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
Season the salmon fillets with black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt. In the first skillet, add the remaining butter and sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and flaky.

Assembly

In a serving dish, layer the jasmine rice, caramelized onions, seared salmon, and sautéed veggies. Drizzle with soy sauce for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add chili flakes or sriracha to the seasoning. For a vegetarian option, substitute salmon with firm tofu. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
