Salmon, Rice and Asparagus

Introduction

This is a super simple recipe to follow. It’s a great way to introduce your kids to new foods and flavors, and it’s also a great recipe for beginners. You can make this dish in less than 30 minutes and spend much less time in the kitchen than you would with other recipes. The ingredients are easy to find at any grocery store or farmer’s market.

The salmon is a great source of lean protein, which means it won’t leave you feeling bloated or sluggish. It also contains Omega-3 fatty acids that are important for brain function and heart health. The rice provides carbohydrates, which can help keep your energy levels high throughout the day. Asparagus has many vitamins and minerals including vitamin K, folate, zinc and fiber.

This dish is a great option for anyone who wants to eat healthy, but doesn’t have much time in the kitchen. It’s also great for meal prep because it can keep in the fridge for up to two days and reheat easily. You can change up this recipe by adding different vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms.

Salmon

  • Use a good quality salmon.

  • Use a good quality olive oil.

  • Use a good quality lemon juice, or if you don't have one on hand, use fresh lemon zest and juice instead!

  • Salt and pepper to taste (1/2 teaspoon of salt per 1 tablespoon of pepper). You can also add some fresh herbs like parsley at this point if you'd like!

For the avocado sauce, mix together 1 ripe avocado with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and juice from 1 lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste (1/2 teaspoon of salt per 1 tablespoon of pepper). You can use any type of salmon.

The best options are wild-caught salmon and/or Atlantic salmon. However, if you can't find these types of fish in your area, farmed salmon is a good alternative! If you do choose to use farmed salmon, opt for brands that have been certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).

Rice

  • Rinse the rice in a large bowl of cold water. Drain, and repeat if necessary until the water runs clear.

  • Add 2 cups of uncooked white rice to a saucepan with 1 gallon of cold water, bring to a boil over medium heat (the temperature should be about 200 degrees F), reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes without stirring or adding any additional liquid; this will allow each grain of rice time to absorb enough moisture from its own steam so that it doesn't become mushy when cooked later on!

  • When done cooking: remove pot from heat source; wait 5 minutes before fluffing up with fork (this helps prevent clumping up).

Asparagus

Asparagus is a great source of fiber, folate and vitamin A. These nutrients are important for your immune system to work properly, so you can get sick less often.

Asparagus also contains the mineral selenium which helps reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease by preventing oxidative damage in cells.

Asparagus is one of the best vegetables for preventing diabetes. The vegetable contains a nutrient called fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which helps reduce blood sugar levels and reduces your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. FOS also has prebiotic properties, which means it feeds beneficial bacteria in your gut.

To cook the asparagus, simply trim the tough ends and place in a pot with some water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.

Directions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and salmon. Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.*

  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the butter and onion; cook until softened (2-3 minutes). Add garlic; cook an additional minute before adding rice. Stirring frequently, cook for approximately 3 minutes or until rice has absorbed all of the liquid released by cooking vegetables/butter mixture.*

  • Add asparagus during last 2 minutes of cooking time.*

Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Note: This recipe can be made with any type of rice and vegetable. You can also add additional ingredients such as mushrooms, bell peppers or even spinach.
