Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring 1 cup water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup wild rice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Trim ends from 12 oz green beans. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add green beans to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place in a greased baking dish. Brush with 2 tbsp maple glaze (reserving 1 tbsp for serving). Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Step 6: Remove rice from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve salmon over rice with green beans, drizzling with reserved glaze and lemon zest.
