Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice

  • 4 pieces skinless salmon fillet (1¼ pounds total)

  • 1 large red onion, cut into ¼ inch-thick wedges

  2. Cook rice according to package directions, and then stir in broccoli during the last 3 minutes.

  3. Remove the rice and broccoli from heat, let stand until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes, and then fluff with a fork.

  5. Broil until the salmon is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, spoon half the soy sauce glaze over the fish.

  6. Serve the salmon, onion, and broccoli-rice mixture with the remaining glaze.
