Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinade the Salmon

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Apply Marinade

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

  3. 5

    Fluff Rice

    Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots.

  2. 7

    Sauté Vegetables

    Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 8

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Grill Salmon

    Remove salmon from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled salmon alongside the cooked rice and sautéed vegetables. Enjoy!
