Ingredients

  • ---For the rice---
  • Neutral oil
  • 4 cups leftover rice
  • 3 green onions
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ---For the salmon and veg---
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 green onion
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 4 (approx. 100g each) salmon fillets
  • 2 large handfuls green beans or asparagus

Directions

  1. Heat your oven to 400ºF and brush a sheet pan with a little neutral oil to coat the bottom.
  2. Add the rice to a large bowl. Thinly slice the 3 green onions and add to the rice along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Toss well to combine and spread the rice out onto the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes while you prepare the salmon and veg.
  3. For the salmon and veg, grate the carrot on the fine side of a box grater and add to a medium bowl. Very finely chop the green onion and add to the bowl along with the sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  4. When the timer goes off, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add on the salmon fillets right over the rice. Spoon most of the sauce over the salmon then toss the green beans or asparagus in the remaining sauce and add to the sheet pan.
  5. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through, the veg is tender, and the rice is a bit crispy around the edges.
