Author's Notes

When pomegranates are in season, which is the fall, you can purchase a whole pomegranate and remove the seeds. Otherwise, the prepackaged pomegranate seeds work well and save time.

step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a rimmed half-sheet pan with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed).

Combine the Long Grain White Rice (1 cup) with 2 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon of Salt (1/4 tsp) on the sheet pan and place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.

step 3
While the rice is cooking, make the glaze for the salmon: combine the juice from the Orange (1), Honey (3 Tbsp), Soy Sauce (2 Tbsp), the remaining ¾ teaspoon of Salt (3/4 tsp) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until syrupy and reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes.

Total cooking time should be 14-15 minutes.

Divide the rice and salmon among four plates. Garnish each plate with Pomegranate Seeds (1/2 cup). Serve immediately.
