  1. 1

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

    ~2 min
  2. 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

    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. 4

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

    ~2 min
  5. 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. 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

    Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and serve it as a bed for the glazed salmon.

    ~1 min

Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a bay leaf to the coconut rice while it simmers. Remove before serving.
  • Leftover salmon and rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
