Healthy meals: Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice

 


Here's a simple and healthy recipe for Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice:

Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Broccoli:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Brown Rice:

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups water
  • A pinch of salt


Instructions:

1. Cook the Brown Rice:

  • Rinse the brown rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  • Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.

2. Prepare the Broccoli:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it's tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

3. Cook the Salmon:

  • While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased oven-safe dish.
  • Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture.
  • Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven to broil.
  • Place the salmon under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has a nicely browned top.

4. Serve:

  • To serve, divide the cooked brown rice, roasted broccoli, and salmon fillets among plates.
  • You can garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Salmon with Broccoli and Brown Rice!
