October 20, 2015
If you’re short on time, try a quick-cooking brown or wild rice. For a vegetarian version, replace the salmon with 1 lb. sauteed sliced mushrooms (any kind) and 1½ cups cooked French lentils.
Total time to prepare: 60 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 scallions, chopped
- 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 2 cups 1% milk
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 2 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups cooked wild (or brown) rice
- 1 lb. salmon, skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the scallions for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk in the milk. Gently cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, 3-5 minutes. Don’t let the sauce boil.
- Season with the salt, hot sauce, and pepper. Stir in the rice and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the salmon and gently cook until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
