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:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of soy sauce until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
