Nutritious and delicious dinner for two! Salmon is so heart healthy and this recipe leaves you wanting to eat it every day!
*Marinade two wild-caught salmon fillets: I used the juice of a Myer lemon blended with a TBSP of basil pesto and a tsp. of grapeseed oil. I let the fish bathe while the rice cooks.
*I prefer wild rice for it's texture, taste, and nutritive properties. Rinse the rice first, then combine 1 c. wild rice & 2 2/3 c water, and some chicken bouillon ( I use "Better than Bouillon") in rice cooker.
* Chop several baby bella mushrooms and some onion and saute in grapeseed oil just until tender. When the rice is finished, add this mixture.
*Have a steamer full of broccoli florets ready to steam when you cook the fish. We bought a grill basket ($10 @ Lowe's) which worked great! The fish was perfectly cooked at a LOW temp on the gas grill.
*Add a little fresh chopped basil for garnish. If you have a little leftover lemon juice you can pour it over the broccoli and fish before serving.
The salmon was "melt-in-your-mouth" perfect, the rice absurdly delicious, and it's awesome no-guilt meal!
