Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Soy-Glazed Salmon with Rice

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4. Carefully flip the salmon fillets and pour the soy glaze over them. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the salmon with the glaze until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. While the salmon cooks, melt the butter in a separate pot over low heat. Add the cooked jasmine rice and stir until warmed through. Season with a little salt if needed.
6. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Serve the salmon on a bed of fluffy rice, drizzled with additional soy glaze and garnished with sliced green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
• Make sure to preheat your skillet to achieve a nice sear on the salmon.
• Adjust the honey level in the glaze according to your sweetness preference.
• For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon in the soy glaze for up to 30 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap out jasmine rice for brown rice or quinoa for a different grain option.
• Add steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
• Experiment with different glazes by adding garlic or ginger to the soy sauce mixture.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed broccoli or green beans for a healthy side
• A fresh cucumber salad to add a crunchy contrast
• Pickled vegetables for a tangy bite
• A light miso soup to complement the meal
