Roasted Salmon Fillets
- Ingredients
- 4 ozs Long grain rice (packaged in a boiling bag)
- salt
- 1 shallot
- ½ Tbsp butter

Cook the rice in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions.

Sprinkle shallot with sugar and cook until browned, stirring, about 1 minute. Stir in the white wine and broth, bring to boil and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse the salmon, pat dry and rub with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook salmon until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
Stir mustard and cream into the shallot sauce and season with salt and pepper.
Rinse dill, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely. Stir dill into the sauce. Season beets with salt as desired.
Divide the rice between 2 plates. Top with salmon, mustard cream sauce and beets.

Healthy, because
Salmon is one of the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are heart-healthy and can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms.
Even smarter
Instead of long grain rice, use quinoa for added protein or brown rice for a serving of added fiber.
