Instructions:
*I used precooked rice in my recipe that I prepared the day before and stored in the fridge. You can begin your recipe by cooking rice in a rice cooker or using an instant pack of rice.
Begin by heating a pan to to medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter.
Season your salmon fillet generously with salt and pepper
Once your pan is heated, add your salmon to the pan (seasoned side down) and allow it to sear (about 7 minutes) while you season the up-facing side of your salmon.
In a separate pan, add 1 tbsp of butter and heat to medium high heat
Once your pan is heated, add in sliced red onion and allow to become fragrant
Flip your salmon to sear the other side and allow to sear (about 5-7 minutes)
Once your onion and cherry tomatoes are sautéed, add in your cooked rice and 4 tbsp of pesto and mix
Allow for your salmon to completely cook with thinly sliced lemon on top
Once your salmon is fully cooked (pale pink inside) plate with your pesto rice as your base and top with your salmon fillet.
enjoy!
