Ingredients:

For the Salmon:

For the Broccoli:

For the Brown Rice:

Instructions:

1. Cook the Brown Rice:

Rinse the brown rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.

2. Prepare the Broccoli:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it's tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

3. Cook the Salmon:

While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased oven-safe dish.
Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture.
Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven to broil.
Place the salmon under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and has a nicely browned top.

4. Serve:

To serve, divide the cooked brown rice, roasted broccoli, and salmon fillets among plates.
You can garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
