Ingredients

• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 pounds salmon fillets, with skin
• 2 cups long-grain white rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Make several shallow cuts in skinless sides salmon fillets. Place fillets skin-sides down in a glass baking dish.

Step 3

Whisk olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, onion, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and pepper together in a medium bowl; pour over salmon. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.

Step 4

Combine water, rice, and dill in a medium saucepan; cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook until rice tender and water absorbed, 20 minutes. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before removing lid and fluffing rice with a fork.

Step 5

Bake salmon in marinade, uncovered, until fillets easily flaked with a fork, about 30 minutes. Serve salmon over rice; pour sauce on top.
