Salmon

Grains Pilaf

Method

Preparing the Honey Garlic Glaze

  1. 1

    Make the glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 2

    Prepare the salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the salmon.

  2. 3

    Grill the salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip and brush more glaze on top. Grill for another 4-6 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

Making the Grains Pilaf

  1. 4

    Sauté the aromatics

    In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the quinoa

    Stir in quinoa, then add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparing the Charred Corn Salsa

  1. 6

    Char the corn

    If using fresh corn, grill it over high heat until charred, about 5 minutes. If using frozen corn, sauté in a skillet until heated through and slightly charred.

  2. 7

    Combine the salsa ingredients

    In a bowl, mix charred corn, diced red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
