- 1 cup jasmine rice
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 1¾ cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover for about 15 minutes until fluffy.

- Serve salmon over jasmine rice, drizzling any leftover glaze on top and garnishing with chopped green onions.
