Salmon with Broccoli and Black Rice - A Better You For Life abetteryouforlife.com

I’m excited to have found an online company who carries rare foodsfrom around the world that I just can’t seem to find locally.

is very health conscious, environment conscious, and theyQualifirstseem to share a passion for fine quality food! I recently purchasedsome from them and was extremely please with the wideblack ricevariety of products they have, the overall purchasing experience, andabove all the customer service they provided me.

Why should you be eating black rice?

Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promotinganthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, but with less sugar, more fiber, and morevitamin E. Many studies have shown that these antioxidants can reduce blood levels of LDL “bad” cholesterol andmay in fact fight heart disease. Not only does black rice have a rich flavor, but it’s super healthy to boot!

on low for about 30 minutes. While the rice is simmering mince the garlic and ginger, chop the onions, and shred thecarrots. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a pan and throw in the garlic, ginger, and onions. Heat on medium for afew minutes (I like my onions to have a stronger flavor and a bit of crunch, but if you like yours browned leave themin longer), then throw in the carrots for about 1-2 minutes.

Set this aside in another dish and place 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil back in the pan for cooking the broccoli (I liketo wait till I’ve flipped the salmon over once). I like my broccoli to still be a little crisp and firm so I leave it in forjust a minute or two before adding a mixture of 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce to the broccoli. Stirand let cook for another minute or two.

Warm a large nonstick skillet with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-low heat. Add the salmon fillets andcook for a few minutes on each side. You can drizzle the soy sauce over the salmon but I like to mix it into thecoconut oil once it has melted.

Serve and enjoy!
