Sweet and Tangy Broiled Salmon with Roasted Veggies and Red Rice

This is a delicious, easy, colorful meal that can be repurposed for lunch the next day!

Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 1 filet per serving

  • 1 tbsp ghee

  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar

For the veggies and Rice:

  • 1 cup of red or forbidden rice

  • 1 sweet potato, sliced

  • 1 head of purple cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 2 cups brussels sprouts

  • 1 small head of broccoli

  • Salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder

Directions:

  1. For the salmon, mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl and generously glaze the top of each salmon filet

  2. Place the salmon on a sheet pan with parchment paper and broil for 7 minutes

  3. When the salmon is out, heat the oven to 400 degrees.

  4. Add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of boiling vegetable broth (you can also use water), cover and let cook for about 18 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is soft. Mix 1 tbsp olive oil and a dash of salt

  5. Place all of the veggies on a sheet with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes or until crispy

  6. Serve the salmon over the rice and vegetables and enjoy! The orange drizzle in the photo is actually leftover butternut squash curry soup, it added a great flavor!

I used the rice and vegetables the next day for lunch with a poached egg and a drizzle of tahini!
