Description

Ingredients
•
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
•
1 teaspoon butter
•
1/2 cup brown rice, rinsed well
•
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh green beans
•
1 medium sweet potato, chopped
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon honey
•
1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
•
2 (4 ounce) frozen salmon fillets with skin
•
1 tablespoon chopped toasted pecans
Directions
1
Bring chicken broth and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Add rinsed brown rice and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. When finished, remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm.
2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
When the rice has about 30 minutes left, combine green beans, sweet potato, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, separating green beans on one side and sweet potatoes on the other.
4
Combine honey, chipotle pepper, and garlic in a bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush mixture onto frozen salmon and place on top of the green beans, skin-side down (this step is important.)
5
Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft and salmon flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 35 minutes.
6
Remove from the oven. Divide rice between 2 bowls. Top each bowl with vegetables and a salmon fillet. Sprinkle toasted pecans over top.
