Ingredients
- •Honey(60g)
- •Garlic(15g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(23g)
- •Vinegar, Rice(15g)
- •Red pepper flakes(1g)
- •Salmon
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •½ teaspoon kosher salt
- •Lime Juice, Fresh
- •Cilantro, Fresh
- •Rice, Brown, Long-Grain
Instructions
- 1Cook the brown rice according to package directions, then set aside and keep warm.
- 2While the rice cooks, mince the fresh garlic and combine it with the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened but still pourable. Remove from heat and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- 3Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt.
- 4Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until hot. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- 5Flip the salmon fillets, pour the honey-garlic glaze evenly over them, and cook for 3–4 minutes over medium-high heat, basting occasionally with the glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
- 6Remove the skillet from heat and let the salmon rest covered for 1–2 minutes.
- 7Divide the brown rice evenly among 4 airtight containers while hot, then top each portion with one salmon fillet and a quarter of the remaining glaze. Divide the fresh lime juice and cilantro equally over the four containers.
- 8Store the containers sealed in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave at 50% power for 2–3 minutes before serving.
