Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine the rice with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
4. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley.
3. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk 1 egg white.
4. Pat the 1.5 pounds of salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Brush the flesh side with the egg white.
5. Press the chili powder, sesame, and parsley mixture onto the egg white-coated salmon.
1. Place the crusted salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
4. Prepare the Bok Choy:
1. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the bok choy and sauté for about 3-5 minutes. Cook until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
3. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
1. Divide the cooked white rice among four plates.
2. Place a portion of sesame-crusted salmon on top of the rice.
3. Serve with sautéed bok choy on the side.
6. Garnish (Optional):
1. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dish for added flavor.
2. Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your delicious sesame-crusted salmon with rice and bok choy!
Tips:
- Ensure your salmon fillets are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- When coating the salmon with the sesame seeds mixture, press gently to ensure the seeds adhere well.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the crust from sticking and to make clean-up easier.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in your favorite gluten-free sauce for 30 minutes before preparing.
- Consider using brown rice or quinoa as a healthier alternative to white rice.
- Bok choy can be steamed if you prefer a softer texture, or stir-fried for a bit of crunch.
- Don’t overcook the salmon; it is best served slightly pink in the middle for a moist and tender bite.
