salmon, veggies & rice

Ok, so yeah, this recipe is pretty straightforward. But delicious, nevertheless.
Salmon + Veggies + Brown Rice (for one!)

Thaw frozen salmon filet in cold water for 30 mins or defrost in microwave for 1.5 mins (checking every 30 seconds so it doesn't cook).
Stick 1/4 cup dry brown rice in a pan and cover with adequate water. Boil.
Throw 1 cup frozen broccoli medley-style veggies in a steamer above water.
Heat grill pan.
When rice starts to get to a rolling boil, turn down to medium-low and cover.
When veggie-water starts to boil, turn down to medium or medium-low.
Season salmon filet with garlic salt + lemon pepper.
Plop salmon skin-down on olive oil-misted grill pan. Cook for 7 mins.
Stir rice and veggies.
Flip salmon over to seasoned side. Cook for 5 mins.
Turn off rice and let sit, covered for 5 mins. Fluff.
Check doneness of veggies.

When everything's completed cooking, remove salmon skin.
Line pasta-style bowl with the cooked brown rice.
Top with steamed veggies.
Top THAT with salmon.

Slice. Toss.

Enjoy!
