Last night I made ponzu salmon and rice. It was under 500 calories and incredibly filling. Decently easy and tasted great!
Ingredients:
🔹2 salmon filets (6oz)
🔹6 oz cremini mushrooms
🔹2 garlic cloves
🔹2 green onions
🔹1/2 cup jasmine rice (can sub brown rice)
🔹2 oz peas
🔹1 oz ponzu sauce
Recipe:
Bring a pot of 1 1/2 cups of water to boil. Pour in rice. Reduce to simmer and cook until tender. 18-20 minutes
While rice cooks chop mushrooms and onion. Mince garlic. Rinse salmon and pat dry. Combine ponzu, ginger and green onions. Place 2 tbsp of mixture in a separate small bowl and set aside.
Spray a medium nonstick pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add mushrooms to pan and cook until soft. Add rice, peas and garlic. Cook till peas are warm. Mix in ponzu sauce mixture. Cover and remove from burner.
Spray a second medium nonstick pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat. Add salmon. Sear until golden brown. 4-6 minutes each side.
Plate salmon and rice mixture. Pour remaining 2 tbsp of ponzu mixture over salmon. Enjoy!
