- 1 large salmon filet at least 2 pounds
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. garlic salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2 Tbsp. green onions chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced
- 8 oz. mozzarella cubed
- 6 large fresh basil leaves julienned
- 2 cups brown rice cooked and seasoned with butter and a dash of salt
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Drizzle olive oil on bottom of a sheet pan. Arrange salmon on pan with top side facing up. Drizzle olive oil over top of salmon.
- Mix garlic salt, pepper and paprika together, then sprinkle salmon with mix. Arrange lemon slices on top of salmon.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Bake salmon at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- While salmon is baking, slice tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Cook rice as directed on package.
- Take salmon out of oven and immediately garnish with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over entire surface of salmon.
- Slice salmon into 6 pieces and serve over rice.
Notes
- The warmth of the salmon will melt the cheese to the perfect temperature.
- If you can't find balsamic glaze in your store, make it by boiling 8 oz. balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup brown sugar together for 20 minutes over medium heat. Let it cool about 10 minutes before using, then store in the fridge to use later.
