Equipment

Ingredients
  

salmon

  • zest from 1 lemon
  • juice from ½ lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves - minced or pressed I like to use a garlic press
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 filets salmon I prefer wild caught
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil

Snap peas

  • 6-8 oz snap peas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste

Coconut lemon rice (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add the first 5 ingredients to a bowl and mix together until smooth.
  • Pour lemon mixture over salmon. Coat with salt, pepper and paprika. Sprinkle over basil. Set aside.
  • Add all rice ingredients to a rice cooker or instant pot. Set to 5 minutes high pressure in an instant pot or just use rice setting in a rice cooker.
  • Add snap peas to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or silicone. Toss with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes add the salmon to the sheet pan with the snap peas. Bake for 6-10 minutes. I like to use a meat thermometer and cook to 125-130 degrees.
  • Divide out rice, snap peas and salmon amongst two bowls. Serve and enjoy.
