Main Ingredients

For Serving

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinating the Salmon

  1. 2

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

  2. 4

    Place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Rice and Broccoli

  1. 5

    While the salmon is cooking, prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions.

  2. 6

    Steam broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Plating

  1. 7

    To serve, place a portion of jasmine rice on each plate, top with salmon, and add a serving of steamed broccoli. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon and garnish with sliced green onions.
