Recipe: Salmon with Thai Rice Salad

  • FAST
  • HEALTHY

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  4. 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
  5. 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  6. Pinch of cayenne pepper
  7. 4 medium scallions, chopped
  8. 3 medium carrots, grated
  9. 1 cucumber—peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
  10. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
  11. Four 8-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets
  12. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  13. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  1. In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook the rice until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain, then rinse in cold water and drain again thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the oil with the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and cayenne. Let the dressing stand for 5 minutes, then stir in the rice, scallions, carrots, cucumber and cilantro.
  3. Preheat the broiler. Oil a broiler pan or baking sheet. Arrange the salmon fillets on the pan and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Broil the fillets for about 5 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Spoon the rice salad onto 4 plates and top with the salmon.
