Print Recipe

A fuss-free, flavor-packed one-pot dinner with tender salmon, vibrant veggies, and perfectly cooked rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup rinsed rice
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle salmon fillets with seasoning salt.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down, 2 minutes per side until lightly colored. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add olive oil to skillet, sauté diced onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add rinsed rice, chicken bouillon, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir and toast rice slightly.
  6. Pour in broth and sprinkle lemon zest. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Place salmon fillets gently on top of rice. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low.
  8. Cook covered for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender and salmon flakes easily. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
  9. Drizzle lemon juice over the dish. Fluff rice gently and adjust seasoning if needed.
  10. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve.

Notes

Do not lift the lid while cooking to ensure the rice cooks evenly and salmon stays moist. Fresh parsley and lemon juice brighten the flavors at the end. You can add a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
