I'm a hearty breakfast combination of smoky grilled salmon, sweet and sticky roasted carrots, and a warm bowl of oatmeal. The honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the savory flavors of the salmon and carrots.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Method
- 1Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce the heat to low and add the oats, cooking until the oatmeal is creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- 3Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 4Toss the chopped carrots with olive oil, honey, and lemon juice on a baking sheet, roasting in the oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until deeply caramelized and tender.
- 5While the carrots are roasting, prepare the oatmeal according to the package instructions, using the remaining water and a pinch of salt.
- 6To assemble, divide the cooked oatmeal among four plates, topping each with a grilled salmon fillet, a spoonful of roasted carrots, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
- 7Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
