Cook time: 20 minutes
Stage: 3
Ingredients
14 oz salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 4 equal pieces
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tsp paprika
½ tsp curry powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp raw honey
2 TBSP soy sauce
2 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Handful basil leaves
Pinch of red chili flakes
4 lemon slices
¼ cup non-fat, all-natural, plain yogurt
Instructions
- Place the salmon in a shallow bowl. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, the paprika, curry powder and oregano. Rub it all over the fillets.
- Add the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- While the oven preheats, cook the rice according to package directions. Once done, transfer rice to a lightly sprayed 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread in an even layer.
- Place the salmon, evenly spaced, on top of the rice. Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves over the top, then add a pinch of red chili flakes.
- Place 1 lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet, then drizzle the remaining marinade over everything. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve salmon with some of the rice and tomatoes, and top each with a dollop of the yogurt.
