Salmon Meal

I try to get in a fish dish 1-2 times per month. My husband isn't a big fan of fish, unless we are within eye sight of an ocean (sigh - bougie guy! haha). But this recipe is one that he enjoys, even at home! Let me know what you think!

**Peep my cute dog, Atlas, trying to get himself some of the delicious salmon.

Salmon with Quinoa/Rice and Broccoli

Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh salmon

• 1 Tbsp sesame oil

• 3 Tbsp liquid amino acids

• 2 Tbsp sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice)

• 1 Tbsp maple syrup

• 1-2 broccoli crowns

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2-3 Tbsp olive oil

• 90-second pack of quinoa or rice

• Optional:

  • Sriracha aioli (1 part sriracha, 1 part mayo)

Recipe:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Remove the scales from the salmon. Then, dice the salmon into 1-inch cubes.

   • In a medium-sized bowl, combine sesame oil, liquid amino acids, sriracha, and maple syrup. Taste the sauce and adjust the ingredients until you reach your desired flavor.

   • Once the sauce is to your liking, add the diced salmon and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Broccoli:

   • While the salmon is marinating, cut the broccoli crowns into smaller florets. Place them in a medium to large bowl.

   • Drizzle olive oil over the broccoli and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, ensuring the broccoli is evenly coated.

   • Place the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet (use foil to reduce mess) and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until tender to your preference.

4. Cook the Salmon:

   • While the broccoli is cooking, heat 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil in a pan over low to medium heat.

   • Once the oil is warmed, add the marinated salmon to the pan. Cover and cook, stirring every 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked through.

5. Prepare the Rice/Quinoa:

   • Microwave the quinoa or rice pack for 90 seconds, or as directed on the packaging. Once done, remove and allow it to cool slightly (caution: will be hot!).

6. Assemble the Dish:

   • Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the heat.

   • In individual bowls, layer the rice, salmon, and broccoli. For best results, store these components separately.

7. Optional Sriracha Aioli:

   • In a small ramekin, mix 1 part sriracha with 1 part mayo to create the aioli. Blend well and store separately if desired.

8. Enjoy!
