Ingredients
Sauce:
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons sambal
Salmon:
Two 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pan
Bowl:
One 12-ounce steamer bag broccoli florets
One 8- to 10-ounce pouch microwavable jasmine or brown rice
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, optional
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Lemon wedges, for spritzing
Directions
- For the sauce. In a small bowl, add the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and sambal and mix well.
- For the salmon: Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Brush the sauce on the top (curved) side of the fillet and let it sit for 10 minutes. Add a bit of oil to a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Add the salmon to the pan top-side down. Brush the salmon with the sauce on the flat side facing up and cook, flipping the salmon halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to a plate. Add the remaining sauce to the pan and continue to cook until it reduces to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the salmon and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- For the bowl: Cook the broccoli and rice in the microwave according to the package instructions. Drizzle or toss the broccoli with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.
- Divide the rice between 2 bowls. Arrange the broccoli, salmon, apples and lemon wedges for spritzing over the rice. Spoon any extra sauce on the plate over the salmon and serve.
