Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    While the salmon is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, toss the seasonal vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables alongside the salmon until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the grilled salmon on a plate with the seasonal vegetables and a serving of rice. Drizzle with any remaining marinade if desired.
