Instructions
- 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
~2 min - 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
~20 min - 3
While the rice is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, garlic powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
~5 min - 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
~2 min - 5
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
~10 min - 6
Pour the prepared glaze over the salmon in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to thicken and coat the fish.
~2 min - 7
Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and serve it as a bed for the glazed salmon.

Tips
- For extra flavor, add a bay leaf to the coconut rice while it simmers. Remove before serving.
