How to Make Rice for Salmon

The perfect complement to a salmon dish is rice. There are so many different types of rice from which to choose, including Thai jasmine rice. Jasmine rice is aromatic and has a slightly sweet taste, offering balance to any fish dish that uses a salty or sour sauce.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Jasmine rice
• Large pot with lid

1. Measure one cup of rice for each person. Using a strainer, run cold water over your rice to remove any excess starch. Stir as you rinse because the rice tends to clump together.

2. Drain the rice. Set the rice to the side while still in the strainer to allow the excess water to drain off.

3. Add water to the rice pot. Use equal parts rice to water when cooking jasmine rice. So, if you have 4 cups of rice, use 4 cups of water.

4. Put the rinsed rice in the rice pot with the water. Cover and cook the rice over medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Check the rice after ten minutes to ensure it doesn't burn. Cooking times vary by stoves.
• Keep an eye on the heat. If your stove burns hot, turn the heat down to medium-low so the rice doesn't burn.
