Chef's Pro-Tips

  • Mise en Place: Measure and prep all ingredients before you turn on the stove. This recipe moves quickly, and having everything ready prevents burning.
  • Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, whole garlic cloves, and fresh herbs instead of dried/jarred versions. The flavor difference is huge!
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Leave room between ingredients. If the pan is overloaded, the moisture will steam the food instead of browning it.

Place an ice cube in the center of the rice (do not submerge), cover the bowl with parchment paper, and microwave on high for 1 minute to steam the rice and salmon. Discard the remaining ice cube.
