Salmon with Rice
We all know that we need to eat fish because it is good for us. Salmon is a great source of vitamin D, B12, niacin, selenium, B6, and magnesium. I am not a fish lover, and definitely not a salmon lover, but this recipe changed that.
It is important to buy Wild Salmon. Farm raised salmon has major health risks associated with it. Farm raised may be cheaper, but it is not worth it. For more information on farm fish, see the link below.

The recipe......
Salmon:
1/2 pound Wild Salmon
1 packet Sazon Goya con Culantro y Achiote (Coriander &Annatto)
1/2 tsp of Goya Adobo (all purpose seasoning with red top)
Olive oil
Place the seasoned fish in a baking dish with a little olive oil. Bake 10 minutes per inch (thick) at 450 degrees. This piece of salmon was 2 inches thick. I baked it covered for the first 10 minutes and uncovered for the rest of the time. You do not need to flip the fish over at all. Just pop it in the over and let it cook to perfection.
Rice:
1 cup white rice
1 cup frozen corn
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 1/2 cups water
Rinse the rice in cold water and set aside. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan on the stove. Add the water, salt and the frozen corn. Bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. Bring to a boil again. Turn down the heat to low, and cover the rice. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir the rice. Place the lid on the sauce pan again and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes. It's ok for the rice to burn a little at the bottom. The burnt rice at the bottom is called "cocon". It actually tastes great!
*Plain white rice or white rice with corn tastes much better with butter than olive oil. But you can substitute olive oil for the butter if you prefer.
