Introducing: Maple Glazed Salmon with Pistachio Rice

Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and unique recipe that combines the rich flavors of maple glazed salmon with the nutty crunch of pistachio rice. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones.

Ingredients:

  • salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
  • maple syrup (60ml)
  • soy sauce (30ml)
  • garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • ginger (1 tbsp, grated)
  • pistachios (50g, chopped)
  • basmati rice (200g)
  • vegetable broth (400ml)
  • green onions (2, sliced)
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • saucepan
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

To start, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush the maple glaze over the top. Season with salt and pepper before baking in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

While the salmon is baking, prepare the pistachio rice. In a saucepan, heat some olive oil and sauté the basmati rice for a few minutes until lightly toasted. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy. Stir in the chopped pistachios and sliced green onions before serving.

Once the salmon is done baking, plate it alongside a generous helping of the pistachio rice. The sweet and savory flavors of the maple glaze complement the nutty rice perfectly. One bite and you’ll be hooked on this flavorful and satisfying dish.
