Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 large onion (finely diced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (finely diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 cube chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1½ cups long grain rice (rinsed)
- 3 cups chicken broth (low sodium, or vegetable broth)
Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with seasoning salt on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely colored. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Add diced onion and bell peppers, cooking until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook an additional minute.
- Add rinsed rice, chicken bouillon cube, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir for a couple of minutes to lightly toast the rice.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Place seared salmon fillets on top of the rice mixture. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and salmon is cooked through.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon and rice. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish and serve warm.
Notes
- Use low sodium broth for a healthier option.
- Adjust lemon juice according to taste.
- Serve with lemon wedges for extra flavor.
