Turmeric Coconut Rice:

• 1 cup jasmine rice (or basmati rice)

• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or one clove of crushed garlic

• Salt to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Salmon and Broccolini:

• Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and broccolini.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Toss the broccolini to coat evenly in the oil and seasonings.

Roast in the Oven:

• Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked and flakes easily with a fork and the broccolini is tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

Prepare the Turmeric Coconut Rice:

• While the salmon and broccolini are roasting, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

• In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, ground turmeric, a pinch of salt, and enough water to cover the rice about an inch.

• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Serve:

• Fluff the turmeric coconut rice with a fork.

• Plate the roasted salmon and broccolini alongside a serving of turmeric coconut rice.

• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.
