The rice cooker I use

About 5 years ago my son bought me a rice cooker for a gift. It has made food preparation so much easier because I can measure, press a button and leave perfect rice every single time.

Simple base method for the salmon

I simply season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. I love chipotle mango seasoning as well, but you can use any seasoning you like.

  1. Make a sauce and brush it on the salmon.
  2. Place the salmon on a lined sheet pan.
  3. Bake skin side up at 450° for about 12 minutes, then remove or serve with skin on.
  4. Drizzle any remaining sauce on the cooked salmon.

Sauce options

Teriyaki sauce

  • 1 part soya sauce to 3 parts honey
  • Crushed garlic
  • Garlic powder

Maple mustard

  • 1 part grainy mustard
  • 3 parts maple syrup

Lemon herb

  • 1 part olive oil
  • 1 part lemon
  • Lemon zest
  • Italian herb seasoning
  • Red pepper seasoning

Sides and serving ideas

The sides are up to you. Leave the rice plain or season it, steam or roast the veggies, add a salad.

This is literally a 20 minute meal that will leave all salmon lovers satisfied.
