Lime-and Honey-Glazed Salmon with Basmati and Broccolini
All of the components of this healthful one-dish dinner are roasted in the same skillet: The rice goes in first, then the salmon and broccolini. And they're all flavored with a lime, honey, and cilantro sauce. If desired, serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lime peel
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro plus additional for sprinkling
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup sliced shallots (about 3 large)
1 1/2 cups basmati rice (9 to 10 ounces)
3 1/4 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth
4 5-to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
1 bunch broccolini, bottom inch trimmed, stalks separated if necessary
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Whisk lime juice, lime peel, honey, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and soy sauce in small bowl; set aside.
- Heat oil in large deep ovenproof skillet or casserole (with lid) over medium-high heat.
- Add shallots and sauté until beginning to soften and brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in rice, then 3 1/4 cups broth; bring to boil.
- Cover skillet tightly with lid; place in oven and bake 10 minutes (rice will be almost cooked through and most of broth will be absorbed; mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry).
- Remove skillet from oven.
- Sprinkle rice lightly with salt.
- Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and arrange on rice, pressing in lightly.
- Tuck broccolini in around fish, with stems anchored in rice.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon lime mixture over each salmon fillet.
- Cover skillet tightly and return to oven; bake until salmon is just opaque in center and broccolini is crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drizzle remaining lime mixture over fish and rice; sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro and serve from skillet.
