Nguyên liệu

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb. salmon filet, cut into 2-3 pieces
• 1/2 cup packed fresh basil
• 1 small bunch of fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, optional
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 cup mayo (more as needed to keep it creamy)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
• small pinch of salt, to taste
• 1 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 ear sweet corn, cut off the cob
• 1-2 cups fresh spinach or spring greens
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced chives or parsley
• salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
• 2 cups cooked rice or grains for serving (I use precooked to make it easy)

Cách làm

1. 1

   Blend the basil sauce ingredients until almost completely smooth, with just a few flecks remaining.

2. 2

   Prep the tomato salad by tossing all ingredients together.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix the spices in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil. Coat the salmon with the spice paste.

4. 4

   Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9-12 minutes, or until 125-130 degrees in the thickest part. (It’s all personal preference, but this is the doneness that we like best – it’s a medium-done salmon.)

5. 5

   Plate the salmon over the rice, serve with salad, and spoon the sauce over the top. Season with salt and pepp. Mwah!
