Mediterranean Salmon
Ingredients:
- 2 5-6oz Salmon (Good quality! )
- 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- Juice of one lemon
- 2 Garlic clove minced
- 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Tsp Dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
Cucumber Salad
- 1 English Cucumber Diced
- 1/2 Cup Cherry Tomatoes (Halved)
- 1/2 Cup Red onion (Diced)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Olive Oil Drizzle
- Salt and pepper
Rice
- 1 Cup Basmati Rice
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 Tsp Chicken bullion powder
Instructions
- Marinate the salmon:
In a bowl, whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat salmon evenly. Let it marinate for 30 minutes max. You don’t want the lemon to start cooking the fish like ceviche. - Prepare the rice:
Rinse basmati rice thoroughly, then let it drip dry. In a pot, sauté the rice in avocado oil for a couple of minutes until lightly toasted. Add water and chicken bouillon. Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until fully cooked and fluffy. - Make the cucumber salad:
Combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with (high quality) olive oil, add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix and let sit while everything else finishes. - Cook the salmon:
Sauté the marinated salmon in a hot pan over medium-high heat, about 3–4 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden. - Assemble the bowl:
Plate the rice, top with salmon and cucumber salad, and finish with fresh parsley and an optional squeeze of lemon.
