Craving For Pan Seared Salmon Over Perfect White Rice by Tom Fit

Do you want salmon cooked in a pan and served with perfect white rice? I'm going to give you my recipe right now.

One of the easiest fish dishes to make is grilled salmon. It is mostly cooked over high heat with a little bit of oil, salt, and lemon. You have everything you need. Any extra ingredients or steps are just to make this recipe your own. That's great, of course.

Next, I'll show you how to make this simple and healthy dish step by step.

Ingredients for Grilled Salmon Recipe

2 pieces of fresh salmon slices or fillets
Olive oil
1 lemon
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Step-By-Step Preparation

Preheat a griddle or big skillet over high heat and pour in a small amount of olive oil.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place it in the pan to cook.
The fish may take longer to cook thoroughly depending on the thickness of the pieces. Allow 2 minutes per side. If you want it well done, reduce the temperature of the griddle to half and let it continue cooking.
Because salmon is a fatty fish, part of its own fluids will cook it, which is a good thing.
When the fish is done, take it from the pan or griddle and arrange each piece on a platter.
Finish with a generous squeeze of freshly squeezed lemon, if desired.

Prepare rice before your salmon is grilled. 2 cups of basmati rice are required for this. I have a Zojirushi NS zcc10 rice cooker, thus preparing rice is a simple process.

To prepare the rice, wash it and soak it in water for around 30 minutes. Then, start the rice cooker and add the ghee.

Now add 2 tsp cumin seeds and wait for a few seconds for it to crackle. For about a minute, stir in the bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Fill the rice cooker with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. To the boiling water, add salt. Now add the soaked rice (after draining the water) to the rice cooker and cook for 20 minutes, or until your rice cooker automatically switches to "Keep Warm" mode.

Instead of diving in with a spoon, gently fluff the rice with a fork.

Once your grilled Salmon is ready, serve it over aromatic rice and enjoy!
