Instructions
1.
1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2.
2. While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sweet peppers, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
3.
3. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the salmon fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4.
4. Once everything is cooked, fluff the brown rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with the sautéed vegetables and salmon. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
