INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup steamed Broccoli
1/4 cup cooked Brown Rice
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Butter
1/4 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the juice from 1/4 lemon with one minced garlic clove.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Near the end of cooking, drizzle the lemon garlic mixture over the salmon.
In a separate pot, steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not pre-cooked, or warm a pre-cooked portion (1/4 cup).
In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to create a simple sauce.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed broccoli and brown rice, drizzling the butter-oil sauce over the rice and salmon for extra flavor.
