Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the brown rice under cold water.
- In a medium pot, add the 1/2 cup (120g) of brown rice and 1 1/4 cups (300ml) of water.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let it cook for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside, keeping it warm.
- In a large bowl, combine the sesame oil and teriyaki sauce.
- Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Alternate threading salmon cubes, red pepper pieces, and chopped scallions onto the skewers.
- Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook the salmon.
- While the skewers are grilling, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- On a plate, serve a portion of the cooked brown rice.
- Place several salmon skewers on top of or next to the rice.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the skewers for added flavor and texture.
- Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, cut the salmon into uniform pieces before threading them onto the skewers.
- For an even more flavorful result, marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you're using a grill, make sure it's preheated to a medium-high temperature to get a nice char on the salmon without overcooking it.
- Serve the skewers and rice immediately while they're hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes on the skewers for more variety.
There you have it, delicious and nutritious salmon skewers with brown rice! This wholesome dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or even a weekend gathering. The combination of flavors and textures will surely impress your family and friends. Enjoy your meal!
