Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the mixture and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the salmon is marinating.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Once marinated, place the salmon fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is marinating, wash and cut the asparagus, bell peppers, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Season the Vegetables

    In a bowl, drizzle the prepared vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

  3. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill alongside the salmon. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 7

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 8

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Plating

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Once everything is cooked, place a serving of rice on each plate. Top with grilled salmon and a generous portion of grilled vegetables. Optionally, garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
