Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds salmon fillets, with skin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups of water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Dish
  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Make several shallow slashes in the skinless side of the salmon fillets. Place fillet skin-side down in a glass baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, onion and sesame oil. Pour the liquid over the salmon, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and dill weed. Cover pan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Allow standing for 5 minutes before removing the lid and the fluffing rice with a fork.
  4. Remove the cover from salmon, and bake the fish and the marinade for about 30 minutes, or until fish can be flaked with a fork. Serve salmon over the rice, and pour the sauce over.
