Ingredients

• 6 oz Salmon fillet
• 1 cup Brown rice
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 cup Steamed broccoli

Steps

1. Cook the brown rice — it takes 40–45 minutes, so start it first.
2. Steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender, 4–5 minutes.
3. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt.
4. Sear skin-side down in a hot oiled skillet for 5 minutes, pressing gently so the skin crisps flat.
5. Flip and cook 2 more minutes until the center is just opaque.
6. Add the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce to the pan; swirl 30 seconds into a glaze.
7. Serve the salmon over rice with broccoli, spooning the pan glaze over everything.
