Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh salmon fillets. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly, use a thick piece of fish. A good rule of thumb is to use a piece of salmon that is at least 1 inch thick.
  • Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • When cooking the salmon, do not overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the salmon will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
  • To check if the salmon is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the flesh flakes easily, the salmon is cooked.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with the brown rice pilaf and vegetables.

Conclusion:

This Asian salmon with brown rice pilaf is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and is flaky and flavorful. The brown rice pilaf is fluffy and nutty, and the vegetables add a pop of color and flavor. This meal is sure to please everyone at the table.
