Instructions

  • Save time in the kitchen: Read the instructions thoroughly, then gather and prep all your ingredients before cooking! Learn Prepping Tips.
  • Cook the Rice: Cook rice as instructed on the package, or click here for rice cooking instructions.
  • Prepare the Salmon: If you wish to remove the salmon skin, you can do so now. Then, pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Set the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare the Broccolini: Season broccolini with salt, pepper, and avocado oil in a large baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil, and place it in the oven to bake for 8 minutes. Make the sauce while the vegetable bakes.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine crushed Calabrian peppers, Ras el Hanout, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and avocado oil. Then, chop the garlic with the basil, add to the mixing bowl, and whisk to make the sauce.
  • Cook the Salmon: Remove the baking dish from the oven, toss the broccolini, and add the salmon fillets skin side down, nestles between the broccolini. Then, spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets. With a pair of oven mittens, carefully place the foil back on and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Serve: Place a scoop of rice on the plate, place a couple pieces of broccolini on, and top of the rice with a pair of tongs. Then, with a fish spatula, gently place the salmon on top. Finally, drizzle the sauce from the baking dish over the salmon.
