How to Make Healthy Citrus Baked Salmon
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice and place in a medium saucepan with 2 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- While the rice simmers, prepare the salmon. In a large shallow baking dish, arrange 4 lemon slices and 4 orange slices, creating individual beds for the salmon fillets.
- Place 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets on top of the citrus slices.
- Season each fillet generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), and 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil.
- Spoon the dill-tomato mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup dry white wine over the salmon and citrus.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Season with sea salt to taste.
- Serve the salmon immediately, drizzled with the pan juices, alongside the brown rice and your favorite steamed vegetables (such as mange tout or sugar snap peas).
