Method

Preparing Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the zucchini and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends of the asparagus.

  2. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the seasoned vegetables in a grill basket and grill alongside the salmon for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.

Cooking Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
