After a week of indulging, I wanted to make a healthy dinner, and one that wouldn't have me spending a fortune on ingredients at the grocery. I settled on maple soy glazed salmon, a brown/wild rice mix, and broccolini. It was tasty, filling, and healthy and definitely a repeat.
Salmon
Ingredients:
2 skinless salmon filets
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tsp adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
Whisk together the ingredients and marinate the salmon for 30 minutes to an hour. In a hot non stick skillet, brown the salmon for a few minutes way side. Meanwhile, reduce the marinade in a sauce pan. Serve the salmon the rice and spoon the sauce over the salmon and rice. Yum!
Rice
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup Lundberg wild blend rice
1 tbsp butter
Mix all ingredients together in a small pot, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cover. Cook for 50 minutes. Turn of heat and let steam a few minutes. Fluff with a fork and salt to taste.
Broccolini
Ingredients:
Broccolini
water
canola oil
salt
I still think the best way to make broccoli (or broccolini) is to steam it, then toss it w/ canola oil and salt. Be careful not to oversteam - you want it crispy and bright green. It's super tasty, and steaming keeps in the nutrients.
The whole dinner was super tasty. Don't get a fancy piece of salmon, because the marinade does kind of take over the flavor, but it's a really great taste. Salty and sweet with a little kick from the adobo. The whole dinner takes about an hour (the rice and the marinating take the longest) and it looks really nice too!
