Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2: Toss the asparagus and broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 5: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Step 6: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7: Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes.

Step 8: Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3–4 minutes.

Step 9: Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and spoon it over the salmon as it cooks.

Step 10: Continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 12: Divide the rice among serving plates.

Step 13: Place a salmon fillet over the rice.

Step 14: Arrange the roasted asparagus and broccoli alongside the salmon.

Step 17: Serve immediately while warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store the salmon, rice, and vegetables in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the salmon gently in a covered skillet or microwave at low power to prevent drying out.

Rice can be reheated with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Roasted vegetables can be reheated in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes.

Freeze cooked salmon for up to 2 months if desired, though the vegetables are best enjoyed fresh.

For the best flavor and texture, consume refrigerated leftovers within 3 days.
