Why this fits a family on a budget
The rice is already in your pantry, which trims a little off the $42.80 price tag, and a sheet-pan dinner with broccoli is easy enough for any weeknight. It rounds out the week with something different from the tacos and pasta nights.
Ingredients
• 2 lb salmon fillets
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp honey
• 3 clove garlic
• 2 cup white rice
• 2 each broccoli
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 stick butter
• 1 each lemon
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 thumb fresh ginger
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 oz parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and give it a light coat of olive oil.
2. Cook rice according to package directions — this runs about 18 minutes and can go on the back burner while everything else happens.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this glaze for serving.
4. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on half of the prepared baking sheet.
5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other half of the baking sheet. Spoon glaze generously over each fillet.
6. Roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the thickest part is opaque all the way through. Broccoli should have a little char on the edges.
7. While everything roasts, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir into cooked rice.
8. Plate a scoop of buttered rice, a salmon fillet, and a pile of roasted broccoli. Drizzle the reserved glaze over the salmon and sprinkle parmesan over the broccoli if desired. Serve right away.
