Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic cloves and thyme, cooking gently for about 30 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

1. Roasting the Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with cajun seasoning, and salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

2. Roasting the Vegetables

While the salmon is baking, spread the prepared vegetables on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Serving

1. Plate the Dish

On each plate, serve a portion of jasmine rice, top with a salmon fillet, and arrange the roasted vegetables around it. Drizzle with confit garlic butter and enjoy!
