Glazed Salmon With Broccoli Rice
Here’s a recipe that will win over even the pickiest eaters—kids and non-salmon eaters included. The trick is that the salmon is broiled, meaning a quick cooking time, buttery flaky results, and no fishy smell in the kitchen. During the last couple minutes of broiling the salmon, brush it with a glaze made from brown sugar and low-sodium soy sauce or tamari. The sweet-salty sauce starts to caramelize on top of each fillet (and the sliced red onions cooked alongside), turning irresistibly sticky and slightly crisp.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat broiler. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and soy sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
Cook the rice according to the package directions, stirring in the broccoli during the last 3 minutes.
Step 3
Let the rice and broccoli stand off the heat until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place the salmon and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Step 5
Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes, spooning half the soy sauce glaze over the fish during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 6
Serve the salmon and onion with the rice and the remaining glaze.

This is a wonderful recipe! Personally, I would just add some veggies to the rice, or even separate from the rice.

This recipe is a keeper for sure. My 3 children (who are the fussiest eaters ever) said "Bravo Mum" and my husband even commented on how good it was. I used Basmati rice, substituted broccoli with peas and also added a little garlic and oyster sauce to soy sauce. Thank you Kate Merker for supplying this recipe!

This was really good! I added oyster sauce and garlic when sautéing the broccoli and red onion which made it amazing.

DANG, THIS WAS REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Easily the best meal I have ever made for just me, although I'd be quite willing to make it for guests, a date, or my parents. And so easy! I cooked the rice in my rice cooker, threw some frozen broccoli on top of the cooked rice to thaw, cooked the salmon according to instructions, and savored every amazing bite. It was even cheap, since I'd just grabbed a piece of 50%-off-must-sell-today salmon at the store! I finished it off today cold, right out of the fridge. Thank you so much!

I loved this dish, and I HATE any fish that is not seriously breaded and fried!
But, I have wanted to like fish that was healthy for me and so have been trying every type offered at restaurants that I could find that might pass my picky palette-until I tried a salmon dish at Mimi's which is a nice restaurant here locally.
When I saw this recipe it reminded me of this other dish-and this bested it!
I used an oven at 500 degrees as the only broiler I have is in the bottom of my oven, but it gets way, way too hot to use for delicate fish like this. I turned out delicious; it was light, flaky, with a mild flavor that was awesome! We did not even use the extra sauce because I accidentally double dipped with th salmon so it was contaminated with the raw fish. So separate the two portions before you start so this does not happen to you. Enjoy-
