Marinade

Salmon

Rice

Method

Preparation of Marinade

1

Make the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

2

Marinate the Salmon

Place the salmon filet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the salmon is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Rice

3

Rinse the Rice

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

4

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Grilling the Salmon

5

Preheat the Grill

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

6

Grill the Salmon

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Preparing the Salad

7

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.

8

Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

9

Plate the Dish

Serve the grilled salmon alongside a portion of rice and a generous helping of salad. Enjoy your meal!
