Soy-glazed salmon with rice

Soy-glazed salmon with rice is a savory and delicious meal that combines tender, flavorful salmon with a hearty and nutritious rice blend. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or when you want to impress your guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sugar
50g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1 red onion
160g
1 lb salmon
450g
1 cup white rice
230g
8 oz broccoli
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of soy sauce until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the soy-sugar mixture over them.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
3. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
4. Prepare the Broccoli:
- While the rice is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
- Drain the broccoli and set aside.
5. Cook the Onion:
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
6. Cook the Salmon:
- Push the onions to the side of the skillet and place the marinated salmon fillets in the center.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice glaze. If the marinade starts to reduce too quickly, you can add a small splash of water to prevent burning.
7. Combine and Serve:
- Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet with the onions and gently toss to combine and heat through.
- Serve the soy-glazed salmon on a bed of cooked white rice with the sautéed red onions and broccoli on the side.
8. Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Tips:

- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors fully absorb.

- Make sure to use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best taste and texture.

- Cook the rice ahead of time and keep it warm to ensure a smooth preparation process.

- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.

- Feel free to add garnish such as chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.

This soy-glazed salmon with rice is a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The rich, slightly sweet soy glaze complements the succulent salmon well, while the nutritious rice and broccoli make it a well-rounded meal. Enjoy this dish as part of a balanced diet, and share it with your loved ones for a satisfying dining experience.
