First, the salmon is broiled. The quick cooking time means buttery, flaky results and no fishy smell in the kitchen. During the last couple of minutes of broiling the salmon, brush it with a glaze of brown sugar and low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari). The sweet-salty sauce starts to caramelize on top of each fillet—with sliced red onions cooking alongside—turning them irresistibly sticky and slightly crisp. As for the rice, add fresh broccoli florets to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking, which lends a pop of color, nutrients, and flavor to the plain white grain. Also, you'll save a pot by cooking the rice and veggie together, making cleanup faster: one more reason to pull out this recipe on your next busy weeknight. Ingredients ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 cup long-grain white rice 1 head broccoli, florets only, chopped (about 2 cups) 4 pieces skinless salmon fillet (1¼ pounds total) 1 large red onion, cut into ¼ inch-thick wedges 1 tablespoon olive oil Kosher salt and black pepper Directions Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, combine sugar and soy sauce, and then set aside. Cook rice according to package directions, and then stir in broccoli during the last 3 minutes. Remove the rice and broccoli from heat, let stand until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes, and then fluff with a fork. Meanwhile, place the salmon and onion on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, spoon half the soy sauce glaze over the fish. Serve the salmon, onion, and broccoli-rice mixture with the remaining glaze.
