  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • Salt, pepper, paprika to taste
  • 1 tsp curry powder or turmeric

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
