Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 3 cups water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: While the rice cooks, season 4 salmon fillets with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes until salmon is cooked through.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger.
5. Step 5: Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the salmon in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets until it thickens and coats the salmon.
6. Step 6: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork, then stir in 3 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to infuse the rice with fresh flavors.
7. Step 7: Plate the salmon over the ginger scallion rice and spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the top. Serve immediately.
