Unique flavors augment delicate salmon in a dish sure to become a quick-and-easy favorite. Ginger, a pungent flavor with notes of woodiness, is mixed with ponzu sauce, a tart Japanese favorite. Together, they are a powerhouse with the fish, and feel free to mix the tangy-goodness with the mushroom jasmine rice. Put it on everything: your steaks, your cereal, your morning coffee… we won't judge!

4 Finish the Rice
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and mushrooms to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Add rice, peas, half the white portions of green onions (reserve remaining for sauce), garlic, ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Stir occasionally until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Remove rice to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.
