Ingredients -
For the Salmon:
4 salmon filets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning (optional)
For the Sauce
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions -
1. Preparing the Salmon
- Pat the salmon filets dry with a paper towel. Season them evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning (if using).
- Set the seasoned salmon aside.
2. Preparing the Oven:
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat the broiler to avoid burning the sauce during cooking.
3. Making the Sauce:
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, add 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add 6 minced garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons of water, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce, 1/2 cup of honey, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Cook the mixture for about 30 seconds until the sauce is heated through
4. Cooking the Salmon:
- Place the salmon filets in the skillet, skin side down if they have skin. Cook for about 3 minutes. As the salmon cooks, frequently baste it with the sauce by spooning it over the top.
- After cooking on the stove, transfer the skillet to the oven. Broil the salmon for 5-6 minutes. During this time, baste the salmon once with the sauce to enhance the flavor. The salmon is done when it is caramelized and cooked to your desired doneness.
5. Serving:
- Once the salmon is cooked, serve it over a bed of steamed rice. Spoon any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top of the salmon and rice for added flavor.
Tips for Cooking Together:
Preparation: Have all ingredients measured and ready before starting to cook. This helps to keep the process smooth and organized.
Communication: Caretakers or family members should communicate clearly and guide each step to ensure safety and accuracy.
Safety First: Always be cautious when handling hot skillets and when using the oven. Use oven mitts and ensure there is a safe area for placing hot items.
Enjoy your delicious Salmon Rice Bowl! This recipe is not only tasty but also a wonderful way to spend quality time cooking together.
