Ingredients


















Method


  • 1Rinse forbidden rice thoroughly, then combine with 400ml water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender. Stir in light coconut milk, cover, and set aside.


  • 2While rice cooks, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice and zest, orange juice, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and Sriracha (if using).


  • 3Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.


  • 4Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.


  • 5Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Pour half of the ginger-citrus glaze over the salmon, letting it thicken slightly as it coats the fish. Remove salmon from the pan and set aside.


  • 6Add broccolini and red bell pepper to the same pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Pour the remaining glaze over the vegetables and cook for another minute, stirring to coat.


  • 7To serve, spoon the coconut forbidden rice onto individual plates. Top with a salmon fillet and a generous portion of the glazed vegetables.


  • 8Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving immediately.

Notes


  • For a vegetarian option, substitute salmon with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms and adjust cooking times accordingly.

  • Any sturdy green vegetable like asparagus, green beans, or snap peas can be substituted for broccolini.

  • Leftover glaze can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and makes an excellent dressing for salads or a marinade for chicken.
