• ¼ cup Feta Cheese, low-fat crumbles

Instructions:

1. Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot with a lid.
2. Once the water is boiling add your brown jasmine rice. Then turn the heat down to low and cook for 30 minutes covered.
3. After 30 minutes covered turn the heat off, add your salt, pepper, butter, and chives to the rice, then stir your rice to incorporate the seasoning and melt the butter.
4. Then place the lid back on the rice and allow to rest covered for an additional 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes your rice will be done, fluff it with a fork and serve!
6. While the rice is cooking you can season your salmon with lemon pepper season. When there are about 5 minutes left on the rice in step 3 above, you can start cooking your salmon and it will be done about the same time as your rice!
7. Heat a large stovetop pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot add your extra virgin olive oil to the pan. Then add your salmon, skin side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip to the other side, turn the heat down to low and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until your salmon is cooked to your liking.
8. When there is about 1 minute left on your salmon sprinkle your fresh lemon juice on top.
9. Once your salmon is done, plate it with the sliced lemon on top.
10. While your salmon is cooking you can also be working on your asparagus.
11. Heat another large stovetop pan to medium heat. Add your ¾ cup water to the pan with your asparagus. You will steam the asparagus until the water is gone, this will take about 6-8 minutes at medium heat. Toss the asparagus every 2 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
12. Once the water is gone, turn the heat for the asparagus to low. Then add your butter to the pan and season your asparagus with salt, pepper, and juice from half of your lemon. Toss the asparagus in the seasoning and butter until the butter has melted and the asparagus is coated.
13. Plate your asparagus, then top with diced chives, crumbled feta, and lemon slices.
