Description
One Tray Honey Soy Salmon + Rice. Brown rice baked in the oven with salmon fillets and your favourite veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets, skin off
- 1½ cups long grain brown rice
- 2¾ cups water / or chicken broth or stock
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 bunch baby carrots
- 1 handful string beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
MARINADE
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
Instructions
Pre heat oven to 180°C.
Place a 30cm x 22cm high sided baking dish in the oven to heat up. Once hot, add the rice and water, cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes without removing the foil.
Combine the marinade ingredients, wait 25 minutes and then pour over salmon, put back in the fridge and leave to marinate for 15 minutes. You don’t want the fish marinating more than 15 minutes.
After 40 minutes remove the foil and top the rice with a layer of vegetables and the salmon, put back in the oven and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the salmon and vegetables are cooked to your liking.
Notes
Soak the rice overnight beforehand in filtered water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. This helps to break down anti nutrients and release beneficial nutrients.
Don’t leave the salmon in the marinade for more than 30 minutes or the acidity in the vinegar will start to ‘cook’ the fish.
