Honey Garlic Salmon with Vegetables and Rice
Salmon, vegetables and a sticky honey garlic glaze all cook together in one oven-safe skillet, then get spooned over a bed of rice. It is a complete dinner for four with one pan to wash.
The glaze is simple: honey, low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice and a pinch of red pepper flakes. In the oven it thickens and coats both the fish and the vegetables.
Sear first, then bake
Starting the salmon skin-side up in a hot skillet gives the top a golden crust before it goes into the oven. Then the vegetables, garlic, lemon slices and glaze go around it, and the oven finishes everything in 10-12 minutes.
Spoon the thickened glaze over the salmon just before serving. If salmon is a regular at your table, my blackened salmon with creamy Dijon sauce is a good one to make next.
For crispier vegetables
Everything cooks together here, so the vegetables come out tender rather than crisp. If you prefer some browning, roast them separately first.
